Plans to convert the former BHS store in Stratford-on-Avon into a 170-bedroom hotel have been approved.
The building is a Grade II-listed property but has been vacant since the demise of BHS in 2016.
The new hotel will include a restaurant, bar and gym as well as offering a space for a separate independent restaurant.
The new hotel is expected to operate as an Ark hotel, part of the Bespoke Hotels group.
The proposed new hotel would be located in Bridge Street in the centre of Stratford on Avon.
