5 Strand

Have your say

The Site

5 Strand is a partially demolished former office building with consent for hotel use.

Spring 2020

Planning Permission Granted

Planning permission was granted in early 2020 for the demolition of the building to provide a new twelve-storey hotel building. The proposals included 500 5* hotel rooms, with luxury amenities, including rooftop bar and terrace.

Autumn 2020

Demolition Halted 

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, one of the major operators involved in the previous hotel proposal pulled out of the scheme and work on 5 Strand stopped. The building has been left in a state of partial demolition since then.

Spring 2023

Public Consultation

Following meetings with residents last year, plans have been progressing with the project team for a planning application. Public consultation has now launched on revised proposals for 5 Strand.

Following a meeting with local residents a number of immediate actions were taken including replacing the monoflex to the scaffold and removing asbestos. Actions have also been taken to improve visibility and reduce anti-social behaviour.
