Five-storey hotel plan for station car park );
);
A FIVE-STOREY hotel with 115 bedrooms could be built on the car park at Henley station.
Blocwork, a partnership between landowner Network Rail and developer Bloc Group, of London, has announced the plans.
The hotel would be located on a 1,360 sq m parcel of land opposite the station entrance, next to the public toilets, which would be unaffected.
It would be run by the Premier Inn chain and would employ about 35 people.
About 60 of the station’s 249 parking places would be built on, although 12 new bays, including some for disabled people, would be created by removing a nearby drop-off point for coaches. There would also be more bicycle storage space.
