The former Lucroft Guesthouse in Shrewsbury looks set to be converted into three apartments after planning permission was granted.

The guesthouse occupies three floors of a 20th-century mock-timber property above a nail salon and convenience store in Castle Gates.

Back in 2016 the hotel was turned into a house in multiple occupation (HMO), made up of 13 rooms made available on short-term tenancies. But four years later, the building's owner was given permission to convert it back into a guesthouse.
