FORMER nightclub Citrus Rooms will be turned into a children's play area after planning permission was granted.
The building, on Eastgate, has stood empty for several years.
The application has been submitted by Nicholas Hadfield, of Bainton Drive, Barnsley, who said it would provide families with a 'superior entertainment venue', with the opportunity to enjoy the adventure of play together in a 'relaxed family-orientated atmosphere'.

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."
