A LISTED building at the heart of the town centre is to be converted into two apartments.
An application for change of use of the ground floor office space at 9 Regent Street has been approved by Barnsley Council.
The property is a grade II listed building and is part of the town centre conservation area. It was originally council offices dating from about 1880.
Documents submitted with the plans say: “The proposal seeks to achieve a high standard of residential accommodation which will enhance the listed building rather than detract from it.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
