PART of a hotel in Cambridge could be converted back into a home under the latest plans for the site.

An application has been submitted to Cambridge City Council to turn 142 Tenison Road from a hotel into a private house.

The rest of the hotel, 144-146 Tenison Road, would remain as a hotel. The plans said the change would see the number of hotel rooms cut from 24 to 16.

A planning statement submitted to the city council said: “It is proposed that No 142 will be blocked off internally from the rest of the hotel and with some internal rearrangements at ground floor to be converted back to a residential property. A new bi-fold door opening to the rear garden area will be the only external change.”
