Also set for imminent approval are plans to convert the former central Post Office in Preston into a 60 bedroom boutique hotel.

The development proposed by Signature Living involves adding a two-storey flat-roof extension to the existing Grade II-listed building.  

The new hotel would include a restaurant/bar, function space and a spa. The Post Office closed in 2005 and the building has been vacant ever since.

Preston City Council’s planning committee is due to meet early December to discuss the Guild Hall and Post Office projects.
