Search the Public Notice PortalA Lake District hotel has had new signage approved amidst a large-scale redevelopment.
The Wordsworth Hotel in Grasmere is undergoing the changes this year with owners Inn Collection Group aiming to reopen it in November.
The hotel has been refurbished, which has included a beer garden and changes to the interior.
The hotel’s management applied to the Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) for permission to update its signage.
The plans asked if five illuminated signs could be installed with a number of existing signs to be removed.

The LDNPA’s planning committee considered the application at its meeting on August 5.
Planners recommended the hotel's signage for approval, saying they were of an ‘acceptable size and design’.
Committee member Richard Outhwaite asked whether the committee could restrict the times the lighting could be on but a planning chief said the level of illumination was at the ‘lower level’.

He added it would not be ‘unreasonable or unexpected’ to see illumination on a hotel premises.
Mr Outhwaite asked for a condition requiring that the existing signs earmarked for removal would be removed, which was added.
With that added condition, members unanimously voted to approve the scheme.
