Plans to build a health care centre and pharmacy in Ramsgate have been given the go-ahead.
The proposals are for land between 156 and 162 Grange Road, which was previously used as the outside playing courts for the Ellington Girls School.
The health care centre has been designed to replace the existing surgery at Dashwood House on South Eastern Road and will offer additional patient services to the local community.
Last night (Wednesday 21 January), members of Thanet District Council's Planning Committee approved the plans, after visiting the site to see for themselves concerns that had been raised by local residents and businesses, primarily about the impact on parking for the area.
Chairman of the Planning Committee, Cllr. Ken Gregory, said: "Members of the Planning Committee had a difficult decision to reach about this application. There was a careful balance to strike here, as there were concerns about the parking in the area. However, the applicants did agree to introduce highway improvements that should help the situation."
