Listed Georgian building in Newport to be converted to flats
A Georgian style building in a prominent town centre location is set to be turned into flats under plans approved by the council.
The Grade II listed building on Lower Bar, Newport, will keep its shop front with the upstairs offices being turned into homes.
The conversion of the rear of the building, along with first and second floors will create four flats at 1-3 Lower Bar.
As part of the work there will be a single storey extension and a first-floor balcony.
“The general ad hoc nature of the internal layout means that the office spaces on higher levels are becoming increasingly less practical to lease,” the applicant says in their design statement.
