Preston developer gains consent for £6m Wrexham hotel
WREXHAM County Borough Council has given the go ahead for Preston-based developer Worthington Properties to build a new £6m Premier Inn hotel just off Mold Road.
Planning permission for the development was granted by the council’s planning committee yesterday. Work will now begin on site in July with build expected to be completed within 12 months.
The hotel will include 83 bedrooms in a four-storey building, together with a ground floor restaurant. The site will also include 83 car parking spaces for guests, with five dedicated disabled bays and 10 secure cycle bays.
The development will create 33 full and part time jobs. The majority of these will be filled by local people.
Worthington Properties development director Russell Worthington said: “We are delighted that Wrexham Council has given the go-ahead for the scheme. It will bring a heavily contaminated brownfield site back into use, providing a valuable boost to the local economy and delivering new jobs to the area in the process.”
Once completed, the Wrexham Premier Inn will take the total number of hotel beds completed by Worthington Properties to over 600 in three years.
Other flagship developments include a 200-bed hotel on the site of the former Boddingtons Brewery in central Manchester, and a 141-bed hotel at The Strand on the Liverpool waterfront.
