A listed Birmingham city centre landmark is set to be converted into a hotel and leisure complex after councillors approved plans by an Irish hospitality group.
Press Up Hospitality Group and sister company Oakmount have won planning permission to convert the Grade II* Listed Methodist Central Hall into a hospitality scheme under the Dean brand, including eight food, beverage, and leisure outlets as well as a 150-bed hotel.
The developers estimate the project could create 400 jobs.
