The proposed semi-basement will contain parking for 54 cars.
Permission is also sought for the construction of a two-storey leisure centre to serve the hotel and residential development, featuring a swimming pool, changing areas, reception, staff room, storage, and gymnasium; surface car parking to serve the hotel and leisure centre and a set down area for the hotel; and all ancillary site works, services roads, footpaths, street lighting, hard and soft landscaping, and level playing areas.
