Application number: 11/0809 201 PROMENADE, BLACKPOOL, FY1 5DL
Decision : Refuse
Reason for decision:
The use of part of the ground floor of the premises as a restaurant/cafe would conflict with Policies BH17 and RR7 of theBlackpool Local Plan 2001-2016 in that the property is located within a terrace of hotels/guesthouses which exhibit astrong holiday character and the aim of the policies is to consolidate this holiday function and to direct restaurants andcafes to existing shopping frontages where they will add vitality to the mix of retail and commercial uses. The introductionof a restaurant/cafe to this Promenade frontage would make it more difficult to resist other similar uses which would dilutethe character of the hotel orientated sections of the Promenade and detract from the vitality and viability of existingshopping frontages.
