Plans to convert a cluster of historic buildings on Newport High Street into homes and a new shop will be decided by councillors this week.
Proposals are to convert the Grade II listed former Adams Grammar boarding building, Picken House, into four new homes along with a shop and café or community space.
“The scheme seeks to provide an improved appearance to the existing historic fabric, to align with the adjacent heritage assets within the existing street scene,” said the applicant in a design and access statement. If approved, the plans would result in the loss of an existing parking space which would then be re-instated with five new parking spaces on High Street and two on St Mary’s Street.
“The proposal to gain access to the rear of the building by taking vehicles across the wide pavement area at the front of the building and then through a newly constructed wide vehicle entrance following the line of the current passageway is simply not viable,” the civic society said.
