Floating hotel plan is approved

Plans for a 54-bedroom hotel at a Teesside marina which would create 25 jobs have been approved.

Premier Inn wants to extend its existing hotel on to the water at Hartlepool Marina, complete with leisure facilities and a restaurant.

It is hoped the hotel will be completed and open for business by early 2010 in time for the Tall Ships Race in August.

Hartlepool Council granted the �3m scheme planning permission at a meeting on Wednesday.
