Plans for Abingdon's historic Morland Brewery to be developed into houses and flats have been approved, writes Roseena Parveen.
The Vale of White Horse District Council agreed to allow 181 homes to be developed on the site in Ock Street, subject to details being finalised.
The Berkeley Homes scheme is being hailed as the most important in Abingdon for years.
Jerry Patterson, planning committee chairman, welcomed the scheme but said he lamented the loss of the country's second oldest brewery. Brewers Greene King shut Morland in February.
