The developers of the Radisson Hotel on Port Elizabeth‘s beachfront have been given the go-ahead for the construction of events space and conference facilities on the fifth level of the multi-storey parking area.

Nelson Mandela Bay municipality‘s housing and land committee agreed to the changes, the motivation being that Radisson is a five-star hotel and the events facility will be “an integral part” of its support facilities.

The application stated that the conversion of what was initially part of the planned parking facilities would not have an impact on this because the parking on level five was in excess of the 170 bays required by the transport impact assessment.

The matter will now be taken to full council for approval early next month.
