BBC News11-07-2025
A former hotel is set to become flats and houses after a planning application was approved.The Da Rosalia Hotel building spans five former houses in Burghley Road, Peterborough, and has a substantial area for car parking at the rear.Applicant, Satyam Ahuja, sought approval from Peterborough City Council for the overhaul. The plan was to restore residential use to the site by converting it into four two-bed flats, two four-bed flats, and two three-bed homes.
City council planners approved the application on Thursday.The parking area will be retained for the use of the proposed flats and houses.It will be reduced to provide 23 parking spaces, refuse and bicycle storage, and to provide amenity spaces for each of the eight dwellings.The application stated: "This development respects the character and form of the surrounding and assists in improving the quality of the housing stock and the residential environment."Previously, the Da Rosalia Hotel provided accommodation for 36 guests and had one owner's apartment, together with a restaurant and bar.The hotel building was listed for sale last year for offers in excess of £1.5m and is now understood to be under new ownership.The local highway authority raised no objections to the plans, but recommended two conditions.It asked for a cycle shelter and the provision of parking and turning space to enable vehicles to enter, turn and leave the site without causing problems on the road outside.

EU's von der Leyen: trade deal delivers certainty in uncertain times

PRESTWICK, Scotland, July 27 (Reuters) - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday said a U.S. baseline tariff rate of 15% on imported EU goods would apply to cars, semiconductors and pharmaceutical goods. She also said that a zero-for-zero tariff rate had been agreed for certain strategic products, including aircraft and aircraft parts, certain chemicals, and certain generic drugs. No decision had been taken on a rate for wine and spirits, she added. "Today's deal creates certainty in uncertain times, delivers stability and predictability," von der Leyen told reporters before leaving Scotland.

US expects to result of probe into chip imports in two weeks

TURNBERRY, Scotland, July 27 (Reuters) - The Trump administration will announce the result of a national security probe into imports of semiconductors in two weeks, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Sunday, without providing details. Lutnick told reporters after a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that the investigation - which is expected to result in tariffs on chips imports - was one of the "key reasons" the EU sought to negotiate a broader trade agreement that would "resolve all things at one time." Trump said many companies would be investing in semiconductor manufacturing in the United States, including some from Taiwan and other places, to avoid getting hit by new tariffs.
