A bold vision to transform a landmark Great Yarmouth town centre building into an education hub has been approved.
Great Yarmouth Borough Council's development control committee has given the green light to the authority's own plans for the former Palmers department store.
The committee approved permitting a change of use from a retail unit into an education centre.
The plans involve a partnership with East Coast College, the University of Suffolk and the University of East Anglia and also include a library.
