New Durham Tees Valley hotel planned
31.07.08
Durham Tees Valley Airport could get a new hotel after a planning application was submitted to Darlington Council, the Teeside Evening Gazette reports. Developer C J Leonard has submitted proposals for a 130-bedroom hotel incorporating car parking facilities for 134 cars to be built on the existing Lancaster House site.
If approved, the hotel will be owned by the Hilton Group and be operated as a Hampton by Hilton budget brand. The new hotel would more than double the number of rooms available near the airport, adding to the existing accommodation which includes the 19-bedroom Spa Hotel and the 59 bedroom St George Hotel.
A statement by the developers accompanying the application says: ‘Two existing hotels can already be found within the wider airport complex area. There remains, however, a clear demand for additional accommodation.’
Jeremy Good, of planning consultants England and Lyle, told the newspaper: ‘There have been numerous tentative proposals for similar developments at the airport, but we believe that this is the first application with an end operator specifically named. The scheme would improve the choice of hotels in the airport complex and is fully consistent with local and regional planning guidance.'
'The site already has outline planning permission for a 74-bedroom hotel. It is now our clients aim to achieve planning consent for a purpose-built 130 bed hotel following the principles of the previous decision. The hotel has a contemporary design and reflects the functional requirements of the Hilton group.'
