Kirklees Council has rejected plans for a three-storey, 33-room hotel in Dewsbury town centre, citing concerns over design, height, and the loss of parking space.
The proposal, a scaled-down version of a previously rejected six-storey, 75-room plan, faced objections from residents and the Dewsbury Chamber of Trade. While supporters argued the hotel would create jobs and boost the local economy, the Chamber of Trade expressed doubts about its quality alignment with the town’s long-term development goals.
The council determined that the potential benefits did not outweigh the negative impact on the area.
