Harlech's St David's hotel could be demolished next month
- Published
The hotel was built in 1910 and plans to replace it were agreed in 2014 but did not proceed
An eyesore hotel that has stood empty for more than a decade could be flattened within weeks.
Owners wanted to replace St David's in Harlech, Gwynedd, with a 130-bedroom hotel but plans never came to fruition.
Snowdonia National Park Authority issued Gibraltar-based Aitchison Associates with a demolition notice in 2015 due to safety concerns.
Pre-demolition surveys are currently under way, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
"Provided these surveys are satisfactory, demolition works will commence at the beginning of September," says a to the authority's planning committee.
The authority claims its "unsightly appearance seriously detracts from the surrounding vicinity and prevents the economic development of Harlech".
Aitchison Associates has so far paid £21,900 in fines for failing to comply with the enforcement notice.
