Updated plans to turn part of a disused bank into four flats have been given the go-ahead.

The New Forest National Park Authority (NPA) has approved an application to convert the first and second floors of the former Lloyds building in Lyndhurst High Street.

The scheme includes alterations to the commercial unit on the ground floor.

Lyndhurst Parish Council lodged an objection to the proposal, citing the what it described as the "poor internal design" of the flats.

An NPA report said the application was a variation on a previous proposal that was approved in 2024.

It added: "Concern has been raised about the small size of the units and the awkward layout.

"However, it has been confirmed by the applicant that all units are in compliance with building regulations and nationally described space standards as set out in the statutory guidance."

The report said the scheme would have no impact on the character and appearance of the building or the surrounding area.
