ELEVEN new homes in Littleham have been backed by town hall planners.
Seagull Developments want to demolish the existing building and build a block of 11 flats.
Previously in May the town council refused a 14-flat development on that same site.
Developers were criticised for submitting plans one short of the 15 units required before they are compelled to add a percentage of affordable housing.
Neighbours' had concerns that too many flats may lead to an unacceptable strain on the already over-burdened sewerage system, leading to possible flooding.
The developers have agreed to contribute �27,705.15 towards local education provision at Exmouth Community College and The Beacon School, and an extra �2,392.50 for computer equipment.

Deputy mayor Sandy Sutton said; "I think the the objections to this development have been addressed. I would recommend approval."
Cllr Malcolm Mitchell said: "I welcome that the developers will be paying �30,000 to the county council for educational purposes."
The plans will now be considered by district planners.
