Application submitted to convert Rugby's Alma Lodge Hotel into flats

The proposal is to turn the building, on the corner of James Street and Albert Street, into eight flats – five one-bed units, two two-bed units and a studio flat.

Externally little will change, with the boundary wall being replaced and a light-well window being reinstated.

To the rear one of the extensions will be removed.

The application’s design and access statement says: “It is fair to say that the Alma Lodge has not been a significant player in the provision of hotel accommodation in this borough for a number of years.

"The proposal does not include any on-site parking provision but there are nearby on-street and public car parks."
