New 150 room hotel near Liverpool John Lennon Airport set to be approved

A new hotel near Liverpool John Lennon Airport is set to be approved next week.

Members of the city's planning committee will meet next week to decide whether to grant planning permission for a 150 room hotel, after an application by Velocity Leisure.

The five storey hotel, which would be built next to the Dobbies Garden Centre and close to the Travelodge, would be minutes from LJLA and join a growing number of hotels around the airport.

Council officers have recommended the plans be approved by the committee.

A report accompanying the application says: "The hotel would be positioned on the northern side of the site fronting Speke Boulevard.

"The site would be accessed from the rear off Longman Drive with car parking provided for 150 cars, including 13 wheelchair accessible spaces in a landscaped car park.

"A restricted vehicle access would be maintained in the north west corner of the site from the Dobbies Garden Centre which is a requirement of a legal covenant on the site.

"A pedestrian route would be introduced on the northern side of the hotel, parallel to Speke Boulevard, connecting with a footpath than runs alongside the adjacent petrol station and pub/ restaurant."

The committee will decide on numerous other applications, including whether to extend Liverpool FC's permit to host concerts by a number of weeks.
