Residents of a prominent tourist street in Blackpool have blasted plans for a B&B to change into a self-contained holiday let - over concerns it will become an 'unmanaged party house'.
King Edward Avenue is home to a number of hotels including The Windsor Hotel, Hartshead Hotel, The Penrhyn Hotel and The King Edward Hotel. The street is a prime location for incoming tourists with the promenade just minutes away from the majority of accommodation there. , explaining that she shared the 'same concerns' others expressed. She continued: "The plan shows 7 bedrooms, but appears not to include any owner/management accommodation. It seems that some structural alterations have been made to the property without necessary permissions having been granted.
"Of particular concern is the lack of any permanent on-site management presence, which presents risks with regard to health and safety, including fire safety, and behaviour management of guests. Change of use as sought will be detrimental to the area and could set an unacceptable precedent. I object to this application."
Ian says that in a previous application, onsite management was deemed "essential" and continued to point out that a smaller property "should likewise have onsite management". He added: "I am also aware of other applications which are similar in appearance lending to a risk of unacceptable party house use."
