A 126-bedroom hotel and restaurant is set to be built in West London. The development will also see the renovation of a 200-year-old pub. Ealing Council’s planning committee approved plans for the Northolt Hotel on Wednesday (April 23). The council had approved another development on the same site in October 2021, however the section 106 agreement for the scheme was not progressed. The main difference from the original scheme is the increase in scale and retention of the listed pub.
