Colin James Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Plans have been submitted to convert How Caple Grange Hotel into a boarding house for Hereford Cathedral School. The planning application to convert the former military barracks and council records office in Harold Street Hereford were refused earlier this week by Hereford planners however, a new planning application has now been submitted for change of use of an existing Georgian Country House Hotel (C1 Hotels) to a boarding house for Hereford Cathedral School (C2 Residential Institutions). How Caple Grange Hotel A Georgian Country House Hotel, 15,000 sq ft, set in over five acres of gardens and grounds could become a new boarding house for Hereford's Cathedral School if plans are passed. Planning Application P163850/F Remember where you heard it first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelsgood Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 That was very quick off the mark - clearly a fall back if the Harold Street scheme failed. Rather a long way out of town, so adding to the inevitable commuter traffic in and out of town on worn out, overloaded roads, including increasing the load on the blighted Mordiford.

Alex Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Does anyone know when this hotel closed? This could be an ideal solution for the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelsgood Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 It's never looked particularly open or inviting - the last time I pulled my car onto the forecourt, many years ago, I was met by a ranting woman telling me not to park, so we left. A July 2016 review on TripAdvisior gives it 2/5, so it was open then. Guide Price £995,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DILLIGAF Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Cathedral school would be better off buying the green dragon and renovating that. No need for transportation then. If only all thinking was logical..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
