COUNCILLORS yesterday approved plans to convert a shop into two flats, despite objections from neighbours.
The shop opposite the Highland Laddie pub in Haughton Green, Darlington, was last used as a hat and dress hire shop.
Darlington Borough Council's planning committee approved the scheme, after considering two letters of objection saying the conversion would affect the commercial life of the village.
