Planners said there was 'little evidence' to suggest The Shake was 'highly-valued'
An empty ormer suburban pub is to become a shop, barbers and flats despite more than 100 objections from nearby residents. Councillors approved the conversion of the Shakespeare Hotel in Wytham Street, Padiham , when they met on Thursday night.
These include concerns about exacerbating anti-social behaviour and crime in the area, the impact on highway safety and transport, worries about the impact on Padiham town centre, concerns about the loss of the public house as a community asset; and the impact on nearby barbers’ shops, convenience stores and hairdressers.An officer’s report said: “The application site relates to a vacant public house known as the Shakespeare Hotel in Wytham Street, Padiham.
“The loss of the public house is acceptable and there is not any evidence to suggest that the proposal would harm any other social and community infrastructure. Other issues do not raise any significant or fundamental concerns. “There have been few objections to the loss of the public house and the three detailed objections appear to be from the same person at a nearby convenience store.
