Search the Public Notice PortalA former Accrington nightclub turned into a warehouse has been earmarked for five flats.
Gulham Mohiuddin has applied for planning permission to convert the former premises of Bailey’s Bar and Nightclub at the junction of Church Street and Holme Street, in the town centre’s conservation area.
A planning statement submitted with the application to Hyndburn Council says: “The site comprises a former nightclub at ground‑ and first‑floor level, now operating as storage and warehouse facilities.
“The premises are located to the rear of 12 Church Street, Accrington, and are surrounded by properties on Church Street, Blackburn Road, Dutton Street and Holme Street.
“The building is a detached two‑storey, brick‑built warehouse with a part‑slated roof and part industrial roof constructed from fibre cement sheet.
“There is a short link extension to 12 Church Street and a back street runs between this building and the backs of properties on Dutton Street and Blackburn Road.
“The application site lies within the Accrington Town Centre Conservation Area.
“In summary, this statement finds that the development has the potential to enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area by bringing an underused building back into active use through sympathetic conversion.
“There would be no harm to the conservation area or the character of nearby listed buildings, so no negative impact on the historic environment would result from the development.
“The application is for the proposed conversion of the existing building to create five self‑contained apartments. The scheme would be contained within the footprint of the existing building.
“It is proposed to form three apartments at ground‑floor level and two apartments at first‑floor level.
“Proposed new window and door openings are to be formed within the existing building fabric, reusing original structural openings where possible.
“The proposed conversion scheme would receive an external render finish which, as well as having aesthetic appeal, will assist with weather protection, improve thermal efficiency and increase the lifespan of the building.
“Access to the proposed apartments is to be gained from Back Dutton Street.

“The building has no individual heritage significance as a relatively simple building with no individual design features and remains in relatively original condition externally.
“It makes no significant contribution to the character of the conservation area, given that it is ‘backland’ development.
“There would be no harm to heritage assets resulting from the proposed development, and a small public benefit from the enhancement of the conservation area. The application is therefore fully acceptable in terms of its impact on the historic environment.”
