Controversial plans for a new hotel in an idyllic seaside resort have been approved by a planning inspector.
Cornwall Council had originally refused planning permission for the 90-room Premier Inn at St Ives last year.
Trewidden Care home, with its panoramic views of St Ives Bay, specialises in dementia care and has 39 rooms for patients.
The plan would see the harbour town's last remaining residential care home replaced by the hotel.
Parent company Whitbread appealed the decision, and it has now been approved by a planning inspector.
