New hotel scheme for Bridgwater gets approval

A new 80-bedroom hotel proposed for the Eastover district of Bridgwater is to go ahead after planners approved the scheme. Issues regarding parking were resolved resulting in Sedgemoor District Council giving the green light for the project which will bring much needed jobs and wider investment to Bridgwater. The investor is DC Homes and Investments. Colliers International advised.

Although Sedgemoor District Council previously recommended approval for the new hotel at Eastover the planning committee deferred its decision in order to clarify the car parking provision.

The building, which has been designed by local firm Key Architecture, comprises an 80-bed hotel with associated parking, restaurant and bar as well as two ground floor commercial units to complement existing uses on Eastover.
