An application has been lodged for a change of the building's use
Applicant Bill Forsyth is seeking council approval for residential apartments on Church Street, Blackpool, to be used as serviced accommodation instead. It is proposed to retain the current use of the ground floor for retail purposes. The application says there are no proposed changes to the interior or exterior of the building, which also boasts a number of private roof terraces.
The site is best known as the Music Hall Tavern which was a popular entertainment venue in the resort before being redeveloped into apartments around five years ago. At one time the Music Hall Tavern also housed housed the Tivoli Picture Theatre and had various uses throughout the years including as a nightclub and bingo hall.
Documents accompanying the application say: “The accommodation is popular due to its town centre location with its excellent transport links making it especially attractive to non-drivers.” There is also a bike store for use by residents in the property, which is located within the town centre conservation area.
