Change of use to a wine shop with weekend tasting events in Mold town centre

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The applicant wants to change how the shop at 2 Yarn O'clock is used. It would become a wine shop and off-licence, selling wine to take away and offering wine tasting. The plan also asks for events at weekends where alcohol could be served and drunk on site. The site is right in the middle of Mold, close to the Post Office, Mold Library and Museum, and the Mold Town Hall bus stop. St Mary's Church, a bus station and two police stations are all a short walk away. Two primary schools and Mold's community hospital are also within a few minutes' walk. Because the shop sits in a tight row of buildings in the town centre, any weekend events could add extra noise and people to the area, mostly in the evenings and at weekends.
