A NELSON firm will build a 69-bedroom hotel in Yorkshire providing plans are approved.

Travelodge wants to open a new hotel in Bradford months after publishing a survey naming the city as the place visitors ‘least wanted to visit’.

Barnfield Construction has applied for permission to build the hotel in Mill Street, near the Royal Mail sorting office at Forster Square.

The applicant has agreed the development with Travelodge, according to a document submitted in support of the application.
