The following images from the planning application show the changes to the entrance to Ladywood House.
The planning application to convert 1-2 & 3-6 Waterloo Street to a hotel was approved on the 4th December and replaces an earlier scheme for the site. The approved scheme is a 160-bed hotel with ancillary restaurant and separate restaurant on ground & lower ground floor & associated elevational alterations.
The earlier scheme, shown below was designed by Associated Architects and intended to add more Grade A office space to Birmingham commercial sector. It was withdrawn with the approved scheme now moving to refurb the existing building into a 160 bed hotel.
The planning approval for the refurbishment of the current building to a hotel maintains most of the current building, shown below.
Changes to the ground floor of the building are listed below, from the planning application.
