Two new adult games arcades are set open within 200 yards of each other in Preston city centre after a second outlet was given the go-ahead in the space of three months.
Preston city council planning officers have granted permission for the latest venture, on Orchard Street, in a former bookies shop. The Noble Corp-run gaming centre will join a similar facility which was given the green light just around the corner on Friargate - in the vacant Krush Sports Bar and Nightclub building - in February. The pair will compete with the long-established Admiral Casino - also on Orchard Street - which operates around the clock, as will its new neighbour.
Planning officer Vanessa Cartwright-Bremner concluded that the proposal was “acceptable and would not have any unacceptable adverse impacts” on local residents or the visual appearance of the area. In a report outlining the reasons for her decision, she added that the business would “bring a vacant unit back into use” and improve the daytime street scene.
