Despite facing delays, the project to convert Poulton's former police station into an artisan food hall is still progressing. Planning consultants expect the application to be reviewed by Wyre's planning committee in the coming weeks. The station, closed in 2018, was purchased by Choice Hotels in 2019 with plans to create Bobby's Yard, a local food and drink destination. A public consultation was held to present the detailed proposals and address any queries.
A much anticipated project to transform Poulton ’s former police station into an artisan food hall is still on track despite progress taking longer than expected.
The station, on Market Place, was shut down in 2018 and the site was bought by Choice Hotels in February 2019, with the company announcing plans to create Bobby’s Yard, offering top local, independent food and drink. It led to a huge amount of interest in Poulton and a public consultation was held to let people see the proposals in detail and and ask question in person.
A covering letter from the consultants stated: "I am pleased to inform you that a full planning application has been submitted on behalf of our client BY1 Limited, for the conversion and extension of the former Police Station, to create a retail and leisure development comprising a food hall at Market Place, Poulton-le-Fylde."
A statement submitted to the council by Stanton Andrew Architects said the new design of the station, which lies within the Poulton conservation area, would ‘integrate the old with the new’.
