The scheme approved by Worcester City Council also includes improvements to a bridge.
Local Democracy Reporting ServiceThe scheme linking the city centre and Shrub Hill was approved by the city council's planning committee.
The initiative would see a new 5m -wide link between Pheasant Street, near the Asda car park, Padmore Street and the existing Cromwell Street bridge over the canal.City mayor Louis Stephen said the application was "very much welcomed". The project also includes improvements to the bridge and parts of Cromwell Street on the eastern side of the canal, to create an attractive new way of getting between the city centre and Shrub Hill without having to use a car or bus.
The planning application formed part of a wider regeneration of the area around the canal and Shrub Hill station. In June, Worcestershire County Council revealed its new "vision" for Shrub Hill, which showed how it imagined the area would grow in the next 20 years, including 500 new homes and predictions of up to 5,000 new jobs.
