Plans for a full roadside service area would not be jeopardised by an application to erect a hotel and restaurant on part of the site on the outskirts of Liskeard, the developers have told Caradon's planners. The Whitbread Group and Brook Street Properties have applied to the district council for detailed planning consent for a Brewer's Fayre pub/ restaurant and a 50-bed Premier Travel Inn Hotel on land at Tencreek Farm, Liskeard, the site being bordered to the west by the A38 dual carriageway. Access would be by an existing spur off the nearby roundabout. As long ago as 1995 the council granted outline planning permission for a full service area on the site and adjoining land, to include car and commercial vehicle parking and a petrol station. The current proposals, due to come before the planning committee on a date to be fixed, envisage the erection of a 50-bed, three-storey 'budget' hotel and a family restaurant seating 196 people, together with parking for 110 cars. The applicants have told the council that their plans comply with current planning policies for the area and that the site itself is located within the town boundary. Brook Street Properties say they intend that a roadside service area, to include a petrol station, parking and picnic area, will be developed in the future and that the current scheme will not prejudice those plans. They are continuing to promote the remaining land on the site for those purposes. Planning committee members will be told that the proposed hotel will not have its own catering facilities and that guests will rely on the adjoining Brewer's Fayre for breakfast and evening meals. 'It is clear that a family pub/restaurant in this location provides an important function in relation to the proposed hotel and will also provide a useful facility for users of the adjacent A38,' said the applicants.
