Plans to restore a historic building on Penarth's seafront have been given the go ahead. Vale of Glamorgan Council approved a planning application to restore the interior of Penarth Yacht Club on The Esplanade.
The proposal included plans to remove the false ceilings and ventilation ducts installed in the 1970s and 80s and restore the historic ceilings, beams and windows. The building itself dates back to the 1880s.
Also included in the planning application are plans to install insulation in the ceilings and replace lighting. Applicant and club member, Dr Daniel Griffith, said: "Most people are very positive about the prospect of seeing some of the historic details again.
