A FORMER chapel building in Conwy could be converted into a holiday home complex, after plans were submitted.

The Grade II listed Capel Carmel building, a former Welsh Presbyterian Church, and the adjacent schoolhouse, on Chapel Street, would become residential holiday properties under new plans submitted to Conwy County Borough Council.

The vacant building dates back to the late 19th century, and the schoolhouse, which was a Sunday school for the chapel, is listed in its own right.

Made up of a classical façade typical of the time in which it was built, the chapel includes a three-bay frontage and a Romanesque arched entrance, with planning documents noting the “grandeur and impact” it gives this area of the town.

Under the plans, an area of the site surrounding the buildings would be demolished.

Sections of the buildings would be converted into a gaming area, barbecue and bar area, multiple terrace decks, bedrooms, a dining room, kitchen, and a lounge area, complete with an outdoor hot tub.

VJC Holiday Properties Ltd, an Essex-based company behind the proposal, enlisted the help of Llandudno-based BR Architecture in drawing up the plans.

The applicant now awaits a decision by the council in order to proceed with the plans.
