Plans to add up to three floors to a Worthing shopping centre to provide 42 flats have been approved by the borough council.
The application from Cayuga Developments Ltd for the Montague Quarter, in Liverpool Road, was given the nod by the planning committee on Wednesday (June 7).
Officers have worked for more than a year with the architect and Historic England to make the original plans more acceptable.
