A £6.6m project to transform the derelict Robin Hood Hotel in Lombard Street, Newark, into a 66 bedrooms Travelodge will start this summer after planning permission was approved. There will also be three leisure units, a gym, café and restaurant built on the site. Newark & Sherwood District Council approved the application by MF Strawson, supported by our Transport Assessment and Travel Plan. The trickiest items for us were dealing with concerns about drop offs and pick ups on the busy surrounding town centre roads where parking is banned.
