SEVEN new start-up business units are to be created out of an old showroom in Alresford.

The scheme has been put forward for the Alresford Business Centre site, in Main Road, and has been given the green light by planners.

The application involves the sub-division of the front buildings into the units.

Tendring Council imposed six conditions, including the restriction of operating hours from 8am to 6pm Mondays to Saturdays and 10am to 4pm on Sundays and public holidays.
