PLANS to build an extension to a pharmacy have been given the go ahead despite opposition from local groups.

Bosses at Langho Pharmacy, on View Terrace, Langho submitted an application to Ribble Valley Council to construct a new pharmacy building in place of an existing garage.

In addition, they want to change the use of the existing building to three one-bedroom flats and create a new vehicular access.

Letters of objections were sent to the council on the grounds the extension would create road safety issues and become a hazard to local residents.

One residents also said there was insufficient parking and the building was in a poor state.

No objects had been raised by Lancashire County Council or Billington and Langho Parish Council.

The applicant was unavailable for comment.
