PLANNING permission is being sought to extend a hotel in Wombwell.
An application has been submitted to convert the restaurant at the Premier Inn, on Dearne Valley Parkway, into 23 new bedrooms and a breakfast room.
The report states: “Premier Inn has identified a considerable demand for additional accommodation at its Barnsley (Dearne Valley) hotel.
“The proposed development will meet Premier Inn’s operational requirements at this location, and will help to address the identified bedroom demand.
“It is proposed to convert the existing Beefeater restaurant into hotel rooms and a breakfast room.
“An additional 23 bedrooms will be provided on site in addition to a breakfast room, which will be available for hotel guests only.”
A total of three neighbouring properties have been made aware of the plans with no appeals to date.
Public consultation ends on August 9.
