Plans to erect two offices and ten two-storey homes at 40-42 West Street, Leominster, have been approved by members of the northern area planning sub-committee at their meeting on Wednesday, January 16.
Leominster Town Council supported the scheme.
Leominster Civic Society objected, saying the proposal constitutes unsustainable overdevelopment of the site.
The site is within the Central Shopping and Commercial Area and Conservation Area in accordance with policies in the Herefordshire Unitary Development Plan 2007.
