| Notes | Grade II listed Sion Meeting Hall and the connected non-listed Bethel Chapel. The Sion Hall dates from 1815 and has been utilised for numerous purposes over the years, latterly as a warehouse and commercial premises, although the building had more recently been vacant. Identified as having potential for sensitive redevelopment. Proposal for alteration and conversion of both buildings to create 5 flats permitted in 2015 (15/02139/FUL). The works involve sub-division of the Hall to create 4 apartments and creation of a further apartment within the former chapel. The project involves extensive internal and external alterations. A modern unlisted extension would also be demolition. Site works commenced in 2016 but progress later paused. Alternative options have since been appraised and an application for conversion of the buildings to a boutique hotel was then permitted in 2021 (20/02477/FUL). As a result, both permissions remain extant and in theory either project could be delivered at the current time. However, it has recently been confirmed that the landowner/developer is to progress the hotel scheme, and the proposal for conversion to 5 flats will not be going ahead. Whilst the permission will not lapse, and the theoretical capacity from the extant planning permission remains, the future delivery of all outstanding units is currently discounted. If/when new information becomes available to suggest a change to this position, then deliverability can be appraised. | Facts about Notes |
