Proposals Seek Conversion of Historic Buildings into Hospitality Venues Across UK

Several proposals for transforming buildings into hospitality venues have emerged across the UK. In Hastings, a garage at The Old Rectory is set to be converted into a 30-cover boutique café, enhancing the existing bed and breakfast experience while maintaining the building's historical integrity. Meanwhile, in Tenby, plans have been submitted to convert the former TP Hughes department store and adjacent town hall into a spa hotel and restaurant, incorporating features from the historical structures. Additionally, a former clothing shop in Whalley is proposed to be transformed into a boutique hotel with a restaurant and wellness facilities, aiming to cater to the area's tourist appeal. These developments reflect a growing trend in repurposing historical buildings to boost local tourism and hospitality offerings. Each project is subject to planning approvals, emphasizing the need for community and regulatory support.
