Walsall Council's Planning and Development Control Committee passed the plans on Tuesday evening, allowing for building work to being on the 12-bed hospice and day care centre on the former Goscote Hospital site.
"This is the best news I've had in four-and-a-half years in the job," said NHS Walsall chief executive Paul Jennings.
Terry Robshaw, director of operations at Walsall Hospice, said: "It is the final hurdle passed and it is great news for the people of Walsall."
The multi-million pound site will also include a care unit for dementia patients and is set to open in 2010.
