The Royal Station Hotel Ltd in Market Street has applied for the changes as part of ongoing refurbishment work on the site, saying it hopes the new development will become a catalyst for tourism in Carnforth.

The plans focus on an internal yard and surrounding buildings in Haws Hill to the rear of the hotel.

There would also be changes to windows and doorways to provide better views into the Victorian yard and microbrewery.

If given the go ahead, the latest plans would be the final phase of the ongoing refurbishment of the hotel site.

The existing estate agency which takes up the corner unit of the hotel would remain.
