Plans to convert the former Granada TV studios in Manchester into a hotel were first approved in 2015.
Owners have now submitted a revised planning application which would increase the number of hotel rooms to 210, as well adding a new rooftop space with terraces, bar areas and two heated outdoor swimming pools.
An eight-storey office unit which featured in the original plans would also be replaced with a 10-storey residential block.
Additional space at the Granada TV studio would be kept as an events venue
The hotel would be operated as a Mollies Motel & Diner. It will be the first opening in the UK of a new hotel brand, part of members’ club operator Soho House. The group then plan to roll out the concept across six cities in England.
The redevelopment of the former studios is expected to take two years to complete.
