Plans submitted to convert derelict Cardiff hotel into student accommodation
A derelict former hotel in Cardiff city centre could be pulled down and replaced with student accommodation if plans submitted to the city council are approved.
And the adjacent grade II-listed Custom House, sandwiched between the lower end of St Mary Street, Custom House Street and the railway line, would also be a part of the same development.
Under the plans, Custom House’s facades would be included in the new development, while the former York Hotel would be completely demolished for a new building on site.
The proposal also indicates that, should they be given the green light, the plans would help in the battle against graffiti on the building, formerly used as accommodation for homeless people ..
