Local resident and architect Richard Rogers had backed the proposals as part of the planning appeal.

He said: “The 21st century has its own style which differs from the past but can still be complementary in scale and harmony. I believe TDO’s proposal presents an opportunity to replace a building of little significance with a contemporary design that fits harmoniously into the street.”

The building’s facade will be stock brick and bronze patinated gilders metal.
