PLANS to convert a Victorian villa in Darlington into apartments are expected to be approved on Wednesday.
Darlington Homes is seeking permission from the borough council to create nine apartments at the Claremont site, in Trinity Road. The building was most recently used by Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College.
Under the proposals, a building containing 12 apartments would also be built.
Eight objections have been received, with opponents saying privacy in nearby properties would be lost because of the three-storey development. Council officers are recommending approval.
They say the development would reflect the character and appearance of the area.
