Concerns were raised about noise before the application was given the green light
A bid to open a new cocktail bar in Blackpool town centre has got the go ahead from council planners.
An application to convert empty shop premises on Clifton Street, including installing a new frontage, has been approved using delegated powers. Planners ruled the area is already a key driver of the resort’s late night economy, featuring other pubs and restaurants meaning the use was appropriate. Concerns were raised about noise reaching premises above the proposed bar which are currently used as holiday flats, but this could be dealt with through a noise assessment with action taken to minimise any impact. The new frontage to the premises would see the existing timber windows replaced with grey uvpc fittings. with other work confined to the existing footprint of the three storey building.
An application has also been submitted to the council on behalf of Saoko Cocktail Bar for the premises, seeking a licence to serve alcohol until 2am daily. The new bar would be the latest addition to Clifton Street, following the conversion of the former Co-operative Bank into a Marvin’s Bar which opened earlier this year, becoming the fourth to open on the Fylde coast.
