Plans for a gym in Lichfield to be extended have been given the go-ahead.

Lichfield District Council approved the proposal to convert an additional unit at the Shires Industrial Estate on Essington Close.

Urban Fitness Limited hopes to use the additional room as a personal training studio.

Director Simon Ensor said: “Things have been going really well since we took on the original unit and we are looking to extend so we have more floor space.

“We are a very popular gym in the local community and I firmly believe we are offering a service the Lichfield should be proud of.”

Full details of the plans can be seen on Lichfield District Council’s planning website.
