Giving the application the green light, a planning officer said: “The proposed use would remove the units from retail use in an area where retail use should be encouraged.

“However, there is an abundance of empty retail units within the immediate vicinity, including on the opposite side of Lower Warrengate.

“It is considered that supporting an alternative active use that could operate in harmony with neighbouring uses.

“Furthermore, it is important to support the expansion of existing businesses within the city centre.”
