Residents have been left furious after plans to transform the site of a former County Durham pub into a petrol station and shop were approved.
Proposals for the former Falcon Pub site, near Chester-le-Street, were met with over 200 objections from local residents after the application was made in November 2021.
Many expressed concerns about health and safety and the environment, with some commenting that the plans for the site at Pelton Lane, South Pelaw, would further decrease poor road safety in the area.
