Residents in Lewes are calling for a historic hotel to be listed as a ‘building at risk’ following concerns that the owners are leaving the property to decay.

Shelleys Hotel, located on the town’s High Street, is owned by the family of property tycoon Nicholas van Hoogstraten and has been closed since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

People have taken to Facebook this week to voice their anger at the condition of the16th-century manor house, with concerns expressed about the quality of the roof and the increasing number of overgrown weeds in the hotel car park.
