Reduced to rubble
A hotel on Blackpool Promenade has now been reduced to rubble – paving the way for it to be replaced with a new 157 bedroom property.
The Fragrance Group, which owned the St Chad’s Hotel, is expected to submit a planning application later this year to build a new 157-room hotel on the same footprint. The operator, which also owns The Imperial Hotel in North Shore, wants to redevelop the site with “a new, high quality, hotel” and has already held talks with town hall planners about its proposals.
A town hall email says: “Unfortunately, due to a technicality, the applicant was unable to apply for prior approval in this instance as some soft strip works were undertaken , rendering the buildings uninhabitable before notifying the local planning authority.” It said: “The buildings are in a poor state of repair both structurally and cosmetically and, now vacant, are increasingly targeted by vandals and anti social behaviour detracting from the character and appearance of the Promenade.”
