Plans for the fashionable food destination look set to be blocked over obesity fears
Hopes of transforming a parcel of empty land into a fashionable food destination look set to be blocked by Blackpool Council amid fears the scheme could fuel obesity.
They propose to install 19 shipping containers, painted to fit in with the area, catering for sit-in diners and serving fresh food from around the globe sourced from local suppliers. They say the scheme could create up to 80 new jobs.It comes after the council advertised for prospective operators for the council-owned site, and formally appropriated the land for development as a leisure use earlier this year.
A council report says: “The application proposes a hot food and drink development on safeguarded open space in an area where there is an identified shortfall of open space and no compensatory measures or mitigation is proposed. “The scheme would have a detrimental impact on the character, setting and views of the Grade II listed Casino and White Tower.”
