The former HSBC bank building is to be re-developed for business use, after Shildon Town Council backed the plans.
The new owners of the listed building, which was built in 1899, hope to lease out the ground floor to a business, whilst also modernising the upstairs flat for lease.
Town Clerk Mick Waterson commented, “It is good that a proposal for that building has come forward. The council welcomes the fact that someone is interested in the building so we are hopeful. The building is in a prominent place on a main route into the town.”
