The Signature Living Group will host pre-application events at Crumlin Road Gaol on Monday 17 July and Thursday 17 August from 10am-8pm, the Belfast Telegraph reports.

The Group is planning to convert the building into “a luxury hotel, with ancillary uses such as spa, pool and function space”.

Signature Living chairman Lawrence Kenwright previously announced the focus “will be on sympathetically restoring the building to its former glory in a way that is both true to its architectural heritage, and aligns with the exciting style for which Signature Living is reputed”.
