The owner of a martial arts club in Newbridge has applied for planning permission to open a new shop and training studio in the town.
Christopher Thomas, of Art of Combat Martial Arts Ltd, is behind the the new plans.
In documents submitted to Caerphilly County Borough Council, he said his club was “very well known, established and developed” in the local community.
The plans show Mr Thomas would like to use part of the building as a sports shop during daytime hours, selling goods such as uniforms, training equipment and other martial arts kit.
Another part of the premises will become a studio for martial arts and educational courses, plans show.
Mr Thomas said, in the council documents, he intends to run “conflict resolution, conflict management and self defence” courses for the public, private and corporate sectors.
The application is currently out for consultation, and can be viewed on the Caerphilly County Borough Council website under reference 24/0471/COU.
