Plans to demolish landmark Wolverhampton hotel granted green light
The landmark Quality Hotel in Wolverhampton will be demolished after council bosses approved the plans.
Student accommodation and apartments will be built in its place on Tettenhall Road.
Formerly The Connaught, the hotel site will be replaced with 48 student flats and 53 other apartments. A total of 54 car parking spaces will also feature.
The developers will also donate £260,240 to improve play facilities at West Park as part of the deal.
Councillor Michael Hardacre said: "I totally welcome the development. The Quality Hotel is in the process of becoming a complete eyesore and something needs doing.
"After visiting the area, however, it is almost impossible to park there at the moment and I do have concerns over what will happen when a further 53 cars are put there."
