A FORMER servicemen's club in Rawtenstall has been given the green light to become a new restaurant.
Permission to convert the Bury Road venue was granted at Rossendale Council's development control meeting on Monday.
Speaking in favour of the development and on behalf of the applicant, Steve Hughes said: "It is our view that a high quality restaurant would be much better for residents than it was as a social club."
Coun Judith Driver who chaired the committee said: "We do try to give people a choice and I think this is they type of development we need in the town centre.
"It is important that the conditions for the building comply with the Disability Discrimination Act."
