Plans have been submitted to build a 100-bed Premier Inn hotel on the site of a care home in St Ives, Cornwall.
Premier Inn’s parent company, Whitbread, has put in the proposals - first unveiled in September - for the £10m accommodation which it wants to build on the current site of the Trewidden Care Home on Trewidden Road next to Trenwith Car Park.
Whitbread has said the hotel could create 30 full-time jobs, with guests bringing in an estimated £2.5 m per year to the local economy – £1.2m of which the company calculates could be spent outside the seaside town’s peak tourism season.
