Opposition growing to plan for hotel on station car park );
OPPOSITION is growing to plans for a hotel on the car park at Henley station.
Neighbours and town councillors are concerned that the Premier Inn would be an “eyesore” and bigger than necessary.
The company is seeking feedback on the proposed five-storey hotel before applying for planning permission.
Blocwork, a partnership between landowner Network Rail and London developer Bloc Group, unveiled the plans last month.
The hotel would have 115 bedrooms and a restaurant with 92 covers.
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.

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.
