Ramandeep Kaur, of Birmingham-based planning consultants Marrons, applied in 2024 for a change of use of 19-23 Vale Road, formerly home to The Blue Moon pub.
The property has been vacant since The Blue Moon shut in March 2023.
In her application to Denbighshire County Council, Mrs Kaur requested a change of use to form three ground-floor commercial units, and two first-floor self-contained flats.
This application was granted planning permission by the council on Friday (September 11).
Extracts from Marrons’ planning statement read: “The application offers an opportunity to improve the poor condition of the existing building and surroundings at a notable site on the approach to the town centre.
“The proposed scheme will contribute to the viability and vitality of the immediate surrounding area by providing additional shops and services at ground level through an active street frontage, and much-needed smaller residential units at first floor.”
Marrons believe the one-bedroom flats would be “attractive to a range of people”, such as first-time buyers, young professionals, or older people looking to downsize.
It added: “The proposed development would, therefore, make an important contribution towards local unmet housing need.
“Not only will the two apartments proposed at the first floor provide much-needed smaller units which the council are currently under-providing, but the proposed apartments are critical to ensuring the overall scheme is viable by partly funding the redevelopment of the vacant site, given the considerable cost implications of refurbishing the substantial property and provision of four commercial units.”
Rhyl Town Council raised no objection with the plans when consulted on them.
Denbighshire County Council’s highways department said no vehicular access or car parking provision is permitted at the front of the property.
Consent with granted with numerous conditions, including that the development starts within the next five years and is carried out “in strict accordance” with the planning documents.
