Grangetown
Planning permission has been granted to turn a former shop in Grangetown into a massage spa. The application, which relates to 3 Clive Street, only seeks to change the use of the ground floor front of the premises. The rest of the three storey terraced building is in separate use as residential flats.
Roath
An application to turn a shop on Albany Road into two separate shops with four flats on the upper floors has been approved. Two of the four self-contained flats at 20-22 Albany Road will be located over the first and second floors of the building and will have a kitchen, bathroom, lounge and two bedrooms each. The other two flats will be on the first floor only and contain a bedroom/living area with "basic facilities" and a bathroom.
