Planning application

Belgrave Cottage Belgrave Road Darwen BB32RP

Withdrawn Blackburn with Darwen 10/21/0814 Prior Approval - Class A1, A2, Sui Generis to Restaurant/Cafe (Class A3)

Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.

Proposal

Is to bring a former important and delapidated building back to life and create an unique dining, drinking and alfresco dining experience to Darwen town centre and help to complete the exciting future vision of the town centre-scape. We propose to open an over 25's eating and drinking establishment with emphasis on eco-friendly and re-cyclable packaging with no plastics on site where ever possible.

As published by the council, reference 10/21/0814

What withdrawal means

The process from here

The applicant withdrew this application before the council decided it, so it carries no planning weight and no fee refund is automatic. Withdrawal often follows officer feedback that a refusal was likely.

The applicant is free to submit a revised application at any time, and many withdrawn schemes return in amended form, so the site is worth watching if the proposal affected you.

About prior approval applications

How this application type works

Prior approval applications arise where permitted development rights already grant the principle of the work, such as larger home extensions, changes of use to housing or agricultural buildings. The council may only consider the specific matters set out in the rules, for example transport, flooding or appearance, and in many classes the work may proceed if the council does not respond within the deadline, commonly 56 days.
