The warehouse was converted into retail use and opened to customers in May
A major kitchen and household store in Blackburn opened in May without the necessary council approval, it has emerged. The Cooks Villa Catering Centre in Ordnance Street off Copy Nook did not have planning permission to convert the wholesale warehouse for retail purposes, documents submitted to Blackburn with Darwen Council reveal.
The Home Fix store took over the approved retail premises of the former Khanjra Cash and Carry which had moved. Cook Villa stocks a range of items including, pots, pans, glasses, gifts, storage and decorative products. It is believed to be the biggest showroom of its kind in the north of England spread across 27,000 square feet.
“A wholesalers is considered akin to retail use such as the current proposal. The new use will still generate employment opportunities as sales operatives are required to manage the store and warehouse staff to facilitate deliveries. “With Home Fix located next door, visitors could make combined trips to both. Given the floorspace requirements of a retail warehouse it is not considered that there are any suitable units within the town centre.
