A former pub in Bedwellty could be converted into a four-bedroom house, if planning permission is granted.
The New Inn on Heol-y-Bedw-Hirion has been closed for a number of years.
Most of the layout is proposed to stay the same, including the bar – which will be used as a breakfast bar.
There will be an additional bedroom on the first floor and a large dining room where the groundfloor restaurant is.
No external changes will be made to the building.
The pub is close to the nearby Church Inn, on Bedwellty Road.
A decision on the application is expected to be made by Caerphilly County Borough Council’s planning department by April 5.
