Planning permission has already been granted at The Craven Arms Hotel for the extension and conversion of the first and second floors to form apartments. 

However, the latest proposal by Rugby Property Assets is for the conversion of the ground floor, consisting of two large bar areas, a breakfast room, a large carvery, kitchen, and toilets.

A design and access statement provided by Base Architects said that, as the building is now vacant and the public house/hotel function has been closed for at least five years, the change of use would not have a detrimental impact on the local community.
