But the the planning approval as well as the deeds transfer is reliant on the Welsh Government, which is considering calling the proposal in for them to decide the scheme.
Neuadd Maldwyn Graphic - how it could look when finished. DECISIONS on planning applications for a £11.6 million transformation of Welshpool’s Neuadd Maldwyn into flats for older people, will ultimately be decided by the Welsh Government. The application by Clwyd Alyn Housing Association to turn the Grade II listed building into 66 one and two-bedroom apartments, could be “called in” to be decided by the Welsh Government. This meant that a decision made by PCC’s Planning committee at their meeting on Friday, January 22, to approve the plans, is for the time being only a “recommendation.” The Welsh Government will inform the authority 21 days after receiving all the relevant documentation whether they are going ahead with a call in, or not.
