An online petition was quickly launched by residents of the area, with more than 1,500 people signing a petition and forming an action group to block the Toby Carvery plans.
The group have now said that they are 'delighted' to receive planning approval', and that they 'understand' the initial concerns from residents, however, that the 'heart and soul' of the Cleveland Arms will remain.
