Councillors were unanimous in approving the proposals, which will see 22 apartments and three bungalows erected, plus a community room, off street parking and a garden area.

The plans have proved controversial because local historians were keen to keep the attractive building, which is an integral part of the town’s architectural heritage.

A compromise solution has now been found, with the facade of the Brook Street baths being maintained on the front of the apartment building.
