Planning History

Though at a significant gateway to the city from the south, the site \r\nhas been vacant for more than 20 years and has become derelict. A strategic regeneration framework in 2008 set out some key characteristics and regeneration aims for the immediate vicinity in the context of planned and permitted development. In 2009 planning permission was granted for a 285 bed, 19 storey hotel with associated restaurant and conferencing facilities for the previous site owner. \r\n\r\nPlanning permission for current proposals was granted in August 2015.
