PLANS to bulldoze the Regency Hotel in Redcar and build residential apartments in its place are to go ahead.
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council approved the scheme at a meeting yesterday, after changes they had requested had been made to the application by businessman Malcolm McKee.
Residents had been worried that the development would result in a loss of privacy and block out light.
The council's development control manager Doreen Mealing said: "Residents are more than happy and grateful for the alterations made."
Councillor Peter Spencer said: "Everyone from our department to the developer should be congratulated with the speed and efficiency this has been redesigned."
