Former Anglesey pub fire site to become nine-home development

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 13:03 · Archive

Anglesey County Council is considering plans to demolish the fire-damaged former Gaerwen Arms public house on Chapel Street in Gaerwen and build housing on the site. The huge blaze, which broke out in June 2023, was accidental and involved a tumble dryer in an outbuilding. The fire damaged the outbuilding, kitchen, restaurant and bar. Following the fire, the pub ceased operating. Part of the building was subsequently demolished, but the premises never reopened and the property remained vacant.

During the prolonged period of non-use, the building has deteriorated significantly. Planning documents submitted to the council state that the property, which was then owned by a brewery, suffered water ingress and water damage, damage to its internal and external fabric, and structural concerns. The existing building is described as being in a poor and deteriorating state of repair.

The application, submitted by AMP Construction Ltd, proposes the construction of nine residential dwellings: seven four-bedroom homes and two two-bedroom homes, including two affordable dwellings.
