The planning officer at Cheshire West and Chester Council gave their approval of the plans.
In their report it said: “It is considered that the proposed works are in keeping with the design and character of this existing functional building and would not be a detriment to the surrounding area or affect the setting of the adjacent Conservation Area.
“Furthermore, the proposed works would not have a significant adverse impact on health or quality of life, having particular regard to residential amenity or have an unacceptable impact in respect of highway safety.
It goes on to add: “The parking layout approved under the previous application (Ref: 21/03940/FUL) was not implemented. As such, the current proposal represents a more effective use of space and introduces improved parking features.
“The submitted plans incorporate two EV charging points, a designated disabled parking space, and additional parking spaces.”
