Proposal to reconfigure the front and rear of Dobbins Inn Hotel. Through discovery work carried out under LA02/2017/1061/LBC it has been established that the no. 8 building of Dobbins Inn Hotel retains evidence that it was a 15th to 16th century tower house. The front elevation of no. 8 has been designed to reflect this unique character. To achieve this the proposal includes the application of Lime Harl Render No. 8 façade along with crenellations on a new parapet and hardwood half rounded windows fitted within the existing window voids. No. 6 will have new hardwood sliding sash windows fitted and smooth lime render will be applied. The roofs will be welsh natural stone slate. The rear elevations will also be refurbished.
