Aparthotel plans for Lark Lane restaurant tipped for approval
The plans include eight en-suite bedrooms.
Plans to transform the upper floors of an Indian restaurant on Lark Lane into an aparthotel look set to progress, reports Insider.
Mr Miah of the popular restaurant Taj is behind the scheme, which proposes transforming the site to include eight en-suite bedrooms.
The current, amended proposal is preceded by an earlier application, including an extension, which was refused. The extension has now been scrapped.
A planning statement said that the proposed hotel is "intended to complement the restaurant whereby overnight guests would dine in the restaurant". It added that it would be “beneficial in terms of additional footfall as guests are likely to spend and rely on the local shops and services during their stay”.
To facilitate the proposed change of use, some minor changes to the fenestration and doorways to the rear of the building are incorporated within the proposals.
Liverpool City Council's Planning Committee will review the application on Tuesday (December 2). It will go before committee members with the recommendation for approval.
