Great news for Blackpool
Blackpool’s Christmas by the Sea event has been granted planning permission paving the way for it to return for the next four years.
But it emerged the set-up did not have planning permission and retrospective plans were submitted for town hall approval. Permission has now been granted for use of the land as a Christmas market comprising stalls, rides and associated attractions for no more than 50 days between November and January for up to five years including this year.
The planning report goes on: “Blackpool has long-suffered from a strongly seasonal tourist economy, and the Illuminations period has recently been extended in an attempt to address this and extend the season. The Christmas by the Sea event builds upon this and provides a reason for visitors to come to Blackpool between the traditional end of the season after October half-term and the New Year.
