A former hostel for homeless people in Cambridge is set to be converted into new flats.

The hostel in Willow Walk closed back in 2022 after offering accommodation for homeless people in the city since the 1800s.

Now plans have been approved by Cambridge City Council to convert the building into nine new flats, including seven studio flats and two two-bedroom flats.

The proposals were put forward by Ridley Godfrey (Holdings) Limited, which said there was no longer demand to use the building as a homeless hostel.
