Plans to extend a Grade II-listed property in Nantwich, as well as making parking improvements, have been approved by Cheshire East Council.

In September, applicant, Mr Dickson, proposed a two storey rear extension with minor alterations at 60 Pillory Street.

On Monday 28 October, plans for the site, which backs on to a public car park on Love Lane, were given the green light.

The applicant will resurface the current householder car park area, adding security gates to restrict casual access by others to the property's rear (Cheshire East Planning).
