In November last year, permission was granted to turn the first and second floors of the Craven Arms Hotel into eight apartments.
Later that month, more plans were submitted to convert the rest of the building into a further seven flats - meaning the historic coaching inn would no longer serve as a public house.
According to Historic England, the hotel was built in the late 18th or early 19th century as a coaching inn and named after the Earl of Craven - owners of nearby Stokesay Castle.
It proved so significant to the town, then recorded only as Newton, that the local railway station and eventually the town itself was named after the inn.
The latest planning application was submitted by agents Base Architecture & Design Ltd., acting on behalf of applicant Kaz Dhesi, of Rugby Property Assets Limited.
