Plans to build a new residential development on the car park of the former Nesscliffe Hotel have been lodged with Shropshire Council.
The hotel, off the A5 between Shrewsbury and Oswestry, was sold in 2022 after the previous owner struggled to make it a viable business due to economic challenges.
The following year, the new owner lodged a change of use application for the three-storey Georgian hotel to transform it back into a family home and in April, the green light was given to the plans.
Now, the hotel's former car park - and the agricultural land behind it - could become the site of 21 new homes.
The 1.35-hectare plot of land sits across the road from the Grade II listed building, between the former hotel and the A5.
The application has been submitted by Berry's on behalf of Mathew Morris of Shrewsbury Homes, the developers behind the 61-home development Stone's Wharf in Weston Rhyn.
According to the proposals, the development would be made up of 12 three-bedroom homes, seven four-bedroom homes, and two two-bedroom homes.
Three of the properties, both of the two-bedroom homes and one of the three-bedroom homes, would be marketed for 'affordable home ownership'.
The full application is available to view online on Shropshire Council's planning portal, using reference number 24/04858/FUL.
To the east of the Nesscliffe Hotel, outline planning permission was given to developers Shingler Homes to build two homes after an appeal.
Last week, plans regarding the appearance of the two homes were given the green light by planning officers despite an objection from Great Ness Little Ness Parish Council, which raised concerns that the houses would not be in keeping with the style of the former hotel.
