🌟 Exciting News for Penarth! 🌟
There’s a fresh plan on the table to convert the old gym on Windsor Road into a retail space! 🛍️ This marks the third time a proposal has been submitted, and it seems promising. The first two attempts didn’t fly as they didn’t convince the council that the gym wasn’t essential to the community. 🤔
This time around, Mr David Oakhill is leading the charge. His application argues that the former gym, being a commercial, membership-only facility, wasn’t a true community hub. Instead, it highlights how the new retail space, focused on selling wine, beer, and spirits, won’t overshadow Penarth’s retail centre. 🍷🍺✨
The application emphasises minimal impact on neighbouring properties, even stressing a “no significant retail impact.” Sounds like a win-win for shoppers and locals alike! 🙌
Keep an eye out, as the decision is set for March 25, 2026. Fingers crossed! 🤞 Would you like to see a new shop in this spot? Let us know your thoughts. 💬
