Several historic buildings across the UK are undergoing transformations as planning applications are approved or proposed. Powys County Council has approved the reconversion of Pen Maes, a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in Welshpool, from three flats back into a single dwelling. In Sunderland, plans for converting two Grade II-listed buildings into eight one-bedroom apartments are under consideration, aiming to minimize harm to their heritage. In Armagh, a 250-year-old property is set to be converted into three apartments, with a focus on preserving its historical character. Meanwhile, a former pub and pharmacy in Lancaster is proposed to be transformed into nine student studio flats and a house, despite previous objections regarding parking. Lastly, the Craven Pub in Skipton, which closed in 2023, is set to be repurposed into six apartments, reflecting a broader trend of pub closures across the UK.
