Plans to convert an "ugly" 1970s office block in Altrincham town centre into 68 apartments have been approved. The scheme will see the mainly vacant Clarendon House joined with a separate former library building, each with the addition of two more storeys.

That will make the former library five storeys high while Clarendon House will be nine. Trafford's planning and development management committee gave the plan the go-ahead "subject to appropriate conditions".

These are that 45 per cent of the scheme is an affordable housing scheme, comprising 31 homes. The applicant Citihaus - a company set up by the directors of Manchester-based developer Factory Estates - must also make a financial contribution of £257,128 towards the provision of primary and secondary school places.
