A church has been given permission to knock down and replace a community hall in Newport Pagnell.
The United Reformed Church, off High Street, is a protected historic building but Milton Keynes Council planners have decided that works to the church hall next door would not affect it.
The plans will see the development of a new hall with meeting rooms to be used by the church and the wider community of the town.
Council planners have also approved 38 flats in two three storey blocks at an area of land known as Parcel E, in Fen Street, Brooklands, in Milton Keynes.
The developer, Places for People Developments Ltd, will be able to build a block with 23 market flats and a block with 15 affordable units. Sixteen of the flats will be one-bed apartments, with 22 having two beds.
