Spa complex planned on former naval battery site
Plans to construct a hotel and spa complex on a former naval battery outpost in Plymouth, UK, have been resurrected by Rotolok Holdings.
The £10m ($16.4, €12m) scheme designed by LHC Architecture - featuring a 3,322sq.m (10,899ft) luxury hotel boasting 43 rooms and a spa overlooking Plymouth waterfront - was originally thrown out by local councillors last year, amid concerns over Drake Island’s wildlife and a Grade II-listed building.
The island is named after famous seafarer Sir Francis Drake, who reached the 2.6ha outpost in 1580, after circumnavigating the globe. It was later used as a heavy gun installment during both world wars before falling into disrepair in the 1980s.
A consultation period on the revised plans will run until February 4.
