Scottish catering and hospitality news in Scotland

Proposals by Glenrothes-based developer Lomond Group for a new luxury hotel and restaurant complex with an aeronautical theme have been given the green light for development from councillors of Dundee City's Development Quality Committee.

To be called the deHavilland hotel and restaurant complex, the development will comprise 60 hotel rooms with the additional flexibility to accommodate business and conference meetings and a restaurant catering for up to 126 diners.
Located on a prime riverside site, the deHavilland hotel and restaurant complex is to be developed on a disused area of employment land.
Commenting on the proposals, Lomond Group's Development Manager, Alan Seath, said: 'The planning permission is a result of months of meticulous research, collaboration and great effort being applied to a very thoughtful design process, all of which has delivered an opportunity to develop this exciting project in the city.'

The complex has been earmarked for completion in the second quarter of 2009.
