PL/09996

25 Blue Street, Carmarthen, SA31 3LE

Granted Carmarthenshire Full planning permission

Proposal

Partial Change of Use - Existing Commercial Retail Space to Residential Dwelling. The proposal involves the partial change of use of an existing commercial retail unit, spanning ground and first floors, to create a 1-bedroom, 1-person (1B1P) residential dwelling. Key points: The ground floor will retain a commercial unit, ensuring continued retail use. The first floor (and part of the ground floor as required) will be converted into residential accommodation. Minor internal alterations will be made to accommodate living space, kitchen, and bathroom facilities. External appearance and access arrangements will remain consistent with the existing building, preserving the character of the street frontage

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within five years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

About full applications applications

How this application type works

A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.
