The application sought permission to change the use of the site to extend the level of parking provision at Edward Street car park. It will also be resurfaced.
No new vehicular access will be formed, with access to the proposed carparking area via the existing Edward Street car park.
Councillors approved the plans at Monday’s planning committee meeting.
