Permission granted for conversion of former court building in Holyhead to apart-hotel & shop

We were approached by our client to assist after he purchased the former Magistrates court in Holyhead which he wished to convert into serviced holiday apartments along with a retail unit.

The site was well suited for this as it is located right at the centre of Holyhead in a location that is surrounded by both retail & service buildings and set close to the port. We were also keen to assist in securing a high quality use for the otherwise vacant historic building.

In co-operation with a Built Heritage Expert we prepared a detailed planning application on our client’s behalf and then entered discussions with the Local Planning Authority after submission to address the complexities of this case. Our client was delighted to receive approval and we understand has now begun initial work on the conversion.
