Plans have been submitted to bring a prominent listed building on one of Clitheroe's main roads back into use as offices and other commercial premises.

The application relates to a Grade II-listed building in Whalley Road, formerly home to The Terrace restaurant.

The building has also previously been known as Tiger Lounge and The Villa, and went up for sale last year.

Documents submitted to Ribble Valley Council describe the building as occupying a prominent roadside position opposite the junction with St James Street.

The site includes an existing car park to the rear and sits close to the town centre, Primrose Nature Reserve and St James' CofE Primary School.

The proposals include extensive refurbishment works, including the removal of old fittings, internal alterations, new insulation, replacement of modern doors and windows, upgraded services, secondary glazing and the installation of electric vehicle charging points.

New cycle and bin stores would also be created, along with upgraded lighting and a CCTV and ANPR camera system.

Planning documents state the existing access from Whalley Road would remain unchanged.

The scheme would provide 22 parking spaces, while automatic bollards would be installed at the entrance to prevent unauthorised vehicle access.

The design and access statement says the development would support the vitality of Clitheroe town centre and make use of a sustainable location close to existing transport links and amenities.

It also argues the proposals would secure a viable future use for the listed building while preserving its historic significance.

According to the submission, no changes are proposed to the site's landscaping and only limited works are planned externally, with most alterations taking place inside the building.

The application will be considered by Ribble Valley Borough Council at a later date.
