Bobby’s Yard is a major redevelopment scheme in the area
Plans for a new food hall that forms part of an ambitious redevelopment scheme in a Lancashire town centre have been approved.
The police station 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. The plans which went before the council this week were a resubmission of an application which was actually approved by Wyre’s planning committee back in March 2020.But the progress was delayed by the Covid lockdowns and the permission expired – so the application had to be resubmitted.
The project had been recommended by the planning officer, who stated: “ It is considered that the proposed re-use of the building will provide a valuable contribution to the local economy whilst not resulting in any adverse environmental or historical impacts. In conclusion it is considered that the proposal can be recommended for approval subject to the conditions listed.”
