Reviewed build intelligence

What the documents establish

Government document review

Final grant issued 25 August 2026 for redevelopment as a 40-unit apart-hotel. Tourist accommodation, retained structure and selective reconstruction are distinct from a new residential supply scheme.

5 official documents inspected · Checked 2026-09-07 · Official file index

Final grant is for a 40-unit apart-hotel

Final permission for tourist accommodation in the existing Grand Hotel

What the evidence says
The final grant issued on 25 August covers redevelopment of the existing four-storey former hotel into 40 apart-hotel units with a stated gross floor area of 3,812 m². Condition 2 requires the premises to operate as apart-hotel or tourist accommodation and restricts a later change of use.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Hospitality fit-out and service suppliers should assess an apart-hotel refurbishment scope rather than assume forty conventional homes.

What is not established
Commencement, operating agreement, detailed room procurement and any later change-of-use approval are not established.

Sections separate retained walls from selective demolition and new work

Submitted P02.1 structural interfaces and demolition scope; not a structural certification

What the evidence says
The proposed section distinguishes retained walls, new blockwork and new internal studs. The demolition sections identify removal of corner extensions, selected internal stairs and roof structures, with part of the existing ground floor lowered by 820 mm. The scope therefore includes substantial interior stripping and local reconstruction around retained fabric.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Demolition, structural and interior teams need to coordinate temporary support, retained levels and new work before fixing refurbishment quantities.

What is not established
Structural survey results, temporary-works design, asbestos survey and construction sequencing are not established.

Sections 04 and 05: selective demolition, roof reconstruction and 820 mm floor lowering

Roof works combine membranes, a green roof and maintenance access

May planning roof proposal subject to the later finish condition

What the evidence says
The roof plan shows insulated membrane systems to flat roofs, a green roof above ground-floor structures, maintenance walkways, fall-arrest provision, AOVs and lift/service access. It proposes slate replacement to the pitched roof, but condition 3 requires the reconstructed pitched-roof finish on Broad Street and Hotel Square to be agreed before commencement.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Roofing and access specialists should coordinate the different roof zones and penetrations while retaining the council agreement on the visible pitched finish.

What is not established
Agreed pitched-roof finish, final waterproofing specification, fixing details, fall-arrest certification and installed plant are not established.

The permission removes roof and projecting signage from the submitted proposal

Operative conditions modifying the submitted elevations

What the evidence says
Condition 3 omits roof-mounted illuminated signage on the Broad Street elevation and projecting signage on the specified rear elevation. Wall-mounted alternatives may be acceptable only with written agreement. Detailed signage specifications and external finish samples also require agreement before commencement.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Facade and signage suppliers need the agreed revisions rather than the original illuminated-sign proposal as their scope.

What is not established
Accepted replacement signs, finish samples, lighting details and installation are not established.
