Plans to turn a former fire station into a boutique hotel have been approved by Manchester City Council.

London Road fire station, opposite Piccadilly railway station, will be refurbished and expanded to include a hotel and spa, restaurants, bars, flats and offices.

The Grade II-listed building was bought by developer Allied London in 2015.

Built between 1904 and 1906, the fire station was the brigade's headquarters until its closure in the mid-1980s.

It was bought by Cheshire-headquartered Britannia Hotels in 1985, which ran an office there until about 2001, when it was placed on English Heritage's At Risk register.
