The green light was given to turn a former hotel and conference centre into apartments and houses.
Members of North Herts District Council’s (NHDC) planning committee approved plans to turn The Node Conference and Training Centre in Codicote, into residential homes yesterday (Thursday).
The former hotel and conference centre on Hitchin Road closed in 2011 after its owners, Cartridge, which also runs Hitchin Priory, said the facility was no longer financially viable.
The building was subsequently bought in 2012.
A successful planning application on the site to convert the main house into seven apartments and to build four detached homes was previously approved.
