Plans submitted to demolish Inverness music venue and build hotel
SHOCK plans to knock down the Ironworks music and entertainment venue in Inverness to make way for a 162-bedroom hotel have been lodged with Highland Council.
A London-based development company has submitted a proposal of application notice (PAN) which will come before the south planning applications committee next week.
Bricks Capital, which runs a construction portfolio in excess of £320 million, intends to apply for permission to build a Courtyard by Marriott-branded hotel with a retail unit on the ground floor.
