PLANNING PERMISSION

The current use of the premises is A1 retailing. Any other use such as offices, the sale of food made on the premises etc. will require a change of use permission from the Brecon Beacons National Park. Because of the policies that protect the retail area of the town, this may prove difficult. Because the landlords live next door and have tenants above, they will also want to ensure that any potential use, other than A1 retailing does not interfere with their quiet enjoyment of the adjoining premises
