Marquees put up outside Superdry co-founder Julian Dunkerton’s boutique hotel will be removed, ending a six year planning row.

The white tents were erected outside the Grade II listed venue No 131 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, in 2020 when planning rules were relaxed to allow outdoor dining and support businesses during the coronavirus pandemic.

The structure for the outdoor dining area, which has been in place ever since, will be replaced with a new terrace, with works to start later in July.

The Local Democracy Reporting Service said the project is expected to finish in October, more than a year after the plans were approved.
