COUNCIL officials have given the green light to a plan to convert the Star Hotel in Port Glasgow into flats and shops.
Inverclyde planners have approved a change-of-use application made by BR Homes Ltd for the prominent town centre premises on John Wood Street.
The public bar and lounge bar on the ground floor will be turned into two retail units under the plan.
The upper floors, which had nine bedrooms, will be converted into seven apartments, comprising one and two-bedroom units.
The premises have been disused since March 2023.
