A major residential and business development project on the site of Mercury House - the old telephone exchange in Paceville - got even bigger on Thursday.
The board of the Planning Authority approved plans for the building of a 19-storey hotel instead of what was planned to be a five-storey structure. It will rise alongside a tower, now in an advanced stage of construction, which has been given a permit to grow by an additional two floors to 33.
Also approved on Thursday were a new nine-storey residential block and a bigger underground car park having a total of 717 parking slots.
