The development of a new £15m Park Plaza hotel on London's Western Avenue, which is to use a "fast-built" system where most elements are built off-site, has been approved.
Capita Symonds' ESA design practice has come up with proposals on behalf of the PPHE Hotel Group, which will see the 160-bedroom hotel built opposite Park Royal tube station.
Many of the hotel components - such as ground floor facilities and completed bedrooms - will be stacked together to form the completed building as part of the modular concept.
ESA's Marek Sroka said: "The design philosophy is to deliver a high quality four star scheme for a highly competitive price.
"The flexible modular building system and unique façade design the team has developed has allowed us a good degree of freedom and flexibility as it is the construction process that we have standardised, not the design."
Work is to begin later this year.
