The PDR Group, which owns the Phoenix Hotel, in College Street, have decided that an earlier proposal to convert the 196th century building into a cafe and offices is not financially viable.

They are now seeking permission to knock it down and build a pay-and-display car park for visitors to the town and travellers using the new railway station opposite.
