The art deco buildings date back to 1935
Revised plans for the redevelopment of a historic town centre building in Blackpool have been unveiled – in a move which will preserve more of the heritage of the site.
But now architects Cassidy and Ashton have submitted an updated planning application for the work which would see the site upgraded for use as a business start-up hub. Documents say the scheme has been subjected to a “thorough design and cost review".Work is due to be funded through a £4.5m grant from Blackpool’s Town Deal and match funding of £1.8m. The new plans will preserve the historic aspects of the building which dates back to 1935.
The existing window designs for the shopfronts would also be kept, with glazing taken down to floor level. Upper roof terraces would be axed and there would be fewer changes on lower existing terraces within the courtyard, while the existing brickwork would be renovated.
