PLANS for a 46-bedroom hotel next to The Potters Arms pub in Church Langley have been submitted to Harlow Council.

The developer is hoping to build the three-storey Premier Inn hotel on land to the north of the pub’s existing car park off Church Langley Way and next to Church Langley Primary School.

The existing car park would be extended to create 84 spaces for the hotel and pub.

A statement submitted as part of the application reads: “Landscape improvement works including a re-positioned car park entrance and wider area for drop off and pickups to the front of the school are also proposed along with air conditioning plant in a timber fenced compound.”

The proposal has been submitted by Whitbread PLC who own Premier Inn and Brewers Fayre – who run The Potters Arms.
