Plans for a new hotel in Rotherham
Plans have been submitted to convert a Grade II-listed former bank in Rotherham, South Yorkshire into a hotel.
The building is located on Rotherham’s High Street. It was constructed in the 1890’s for the Sheffield and Rotherham Joint Stock Banking Company. More recently it housed the RBS Bank – but the building is now vacant.
Plans outline a 24- bedroom hotel on the first and second floors, as well as part of the ground floor. The hotel would also feature a ground floor restaurant.
We will monitor progress through the planning procedure.

Football Stadium events news – Everton Football Club
It is looking a long way into the future but planners at Liverpool City Council have recommended approval for Everton Football Club’s proposed new £500million stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock on Merseyside.
The proposed new stadium would open-up access to Liverpool’s waterfront World Heritage Site which is not currently available to the public. As well as providing a 52,888-capacity football stadium, the project would host non-football events including concerts, other sporting events, conferences, exhibitions, events and banqueting throughout the year.
In view of the sheer size of the scheme the proposals will be referred to the Secretary of State for approval before construction can begin on site. If all goes to plan Everton could be playing in a new stadium by the 2024/25 season – and conferences hosted in the same year.
