Lead Works 12-Storey Aparthotel Approved

LEAD WORKS - Approval has been granted today (April 7) to transform a car park site with a new 12-storey aparthotel.

The site, located at the corner of Tennant Street and Granville Street, lies immediately off Broad Street.

Designed by local practice, Glancy Nicholls Architects, Lead Works pays homage to the site's previous use as a Lead Mill in 1890 by featuring a largely red brick building, with a recessed teal glazed entrance, vertical banding, and titanium windows.

A new public bar and restaurant will be featured at ground floor level, with a mezzanine gallery lounge and 198-bedroom accommodation on the upper floors, in addition to new paving and greenery to the site's frontage. 

Revitalising and densifying a long-term car park, the site is currently owned by Lee Longlands - but they intend to sell the site to assist in their long-mooted plans to relocate their business elsewhere in the city.

Approved 8-0, these plans have been brought forward by Soller Group, Glancy Nicholls Architects, and PJ Planning.
