Plans to build ten flats above Superdrug, in East Grinstead, have been approved by Mid Sussex District Council.

The application, to convert two floors of commercial space above the shop, in London Road, were given the nod during a meeting of the planning committee on Thursday (January 13).

Permission for 11 flats had already been given in February 2020 and members were told this could lawfully still be built.

But there was a feeling among the committee that this latest application was better.

Others, though, were not so pleased.
