Change of use for the Ivanhoe guesthouse has been granted FALMOUTH is to lose yet another guesthouse as the struggles of running a B&B in the age of Air B&B and Covid were laid bare in a planning application. Donna Sears and Gillian Jansen who run the Ivanhoe Guesthouse, in Melvill Road say they have been forced to apply for a change of use from commercial to private because selling a commercial property is proving too difficult. Last week Cornwall Council gave permission for change of use application for the house to be converted from Class C1, guesthouse, to Class C3, residential.
