The National Railway Museum wants to create a central hall to link two parts of the site.
Planning committee chair, Chris Cullwick, used his deciding vote to push ahead with the application.The museum hopes the plans will increase museum footfall to 1.2m yearly visitors
Residents will only be able to get through the museum during opening hours, and will have to queue at busy times, with the possibility of bags being searched.Paul Clarke, a director of the St Peter's Quarter Residents' Association, said: "The applicant has ignored the views of local residents at every turn - putting their own commercial interests first."
National Railway Museum director Judith McNicol said the museum took "issues surrounding access and equality very seriously" and explained that they had employed accessibility consultants when designing the building. Planning consultant Janet O'Neill said: "You can never make everybody happy. There's a clash between what the residents and what the museum wants… to say no stone's been left unturned isn't an exaggeration."
