A planning application by Gonville Hotel to refurbish Gresham House was granted approval on 4 November 2015:
Refurbishment of Gresham House to provide an additional 10 hotel bedrooms, extension to rear of Gresham House to provide an additional 21 hotel bedrooms, (subterranean) basement to Gresham House and provide a gym, dance studios and subterranean day spa facilities and a plant room, front extension to Gonville Hotel to provide a new dining area, and associated external works and landscaping.
This follows an earlier refusal to grant permission to demolish the building, against which residents lobbied strongly and successfully.
This is a satisfactory outcome for residents.
