Premier Inn has unveiled plans to build a 100-bed hotel on the site of a care home in St Ives, Cornwall.
The national chain has proposed the £10m hotel could be built on the current site of the Trewidden Care Home, Trewidden Road next to Trenwith Car Park.
If approved, parent company Whitbread said the hotel could create 30 full-time jobs on opening, 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.
