A SEAFRONT hotel in Llandudno will undergo an extension which will see the creation of an additional dining room and bar area.

Hotel No 5, on the promenade, will see a rear extension for an extra dining room and bar area with an atrium and a new escape staircase.

Owner Hayley Coughlin’s proposal has been approved by the council, and the work will encompass:

  • Removal of existing flat roof construction from existing ground floor infill extension for new infill flat roof extension on top with atrium roof light
  • Removal of an internal fire exit door to allow access into the extension
  • New rear replacement galvanised steel fire escape staircase

A heritage impact statement, by Matthew Jones Architects, said the investments were being made to challenge in what is a “very competitive industry”.

It continued: “The work will have little to no impact on the character of this immediate area of Craig y Don and the wider context, but will address the issues faced by the property owners.

“Therefore, the new features that we are introducing are commonplace on the immediate and wider context.

“The proposals will continue and strengthen an appropriate beneficial and sustainable residential use for the existing building.

“The changes proposed are very minor and will help to preserve and enhance the character of the listed building and the Llandudno Conservation Area.

“The quality of the Heritage Asset has been assessed and the impact of the proposals on the Heritage Asset considered.

“The conclusion of this is that the proposals have a positive impact on the character of the building, the area, and the heritage asset.”

Hotel No 5 enjoys a stellar reputation, with a 'exceptional' Booking.com rating of 9.6 out of 10 (458 reviews) and five stars on TripAdvisor.
