Leaton New Station, near Bomere Heath, Shropshire, has not been used by passengers since 1960.
Plans to convert a former railway station that closed to passengers more than 60 years ago into a holiday let have been approved.
The building owner, Lord Ambrose Langley-Ingress, has put forward a proposal to convert the site into a holiday let, providing guest accommodation in association with an "established bed and breakfast business".Bomere Heath & District Parish Council has also supported the plans, adding it would enhance a dilapidated building while retaining local history, bringing tourism to the area.
A statement included with the planning application said the applicant needed to expand to "future proof the business and let it continue to grow".
