Cyngor Gwynedd agreed to a resubmitted application over the change of use of an existing B1 office unit into mixed use consisting of a medical outpatient unit (use class D1) and office space (class B1) at Parc Menai, near Bangor. The plans were submitted by Dr Dylan Parry-Jones of Gorwel Specialist Medical Centre through the agent Sion Roberts of Cadnant Planning. ‌They said the facility could provide specialist services, such as cardiology and dermatology, reduce pressure on services, improve patient access and create employment opportunities. ‌The ground floor would also see "a suite of modern consultation/ medical rooms" along with storage and waiting rooms.
