Why this application matters
Hotel conversion
The proposal would convert the former two-storey Chalk Bar brewery building into a three-storey hotel with 24 en-suite bedrooms.
Setting
The building is on Well Road/School Lane, south of the Old Schoolhouse Bar & Restaurant. The Old Schoolhouse is a protected structure on the adjacent site; the hotel site is not part of that protected-structure site.
Earlier proposal
An earlier proposal for hotel conversion of the same Chalk Bar building described a 347 sq m two-storey brewery building, establishing the reuse of this premises as the continuing scheme.
