King’s Hotel in Blackburn wants to expand into its neighbouring property
A young entrepreneur is seeking official permission to continue to operate a town centre hotel and expand it into the listed building next door.
Now following consultations with Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council planners he has made a second bid for official approval. He has applied for part-backdated permission to use 39 and 41 King Street as a hotel with 33 bedrooms, including use of ground floor for ancillary hotel reception/breakfast/lounge/games room and retention of manager’s accommodation to the rear.
The linked refusal of list building consent for Hornby House – which has a blue plaque commemorating the birthplace of AN Hornby, who captained England at both cricket and rugby and was a Blackburn Rovers player – said: “The proposed alterations fail to respect and correspond to the inherent internal character of the building.”
“The hotel is staffed 24 hours of the day with the applicant personally managing operations on the day shift; comprehensive CCTV coverage operates both inside and outside the hotel; checked in guests have coded entry; strict check in-times operate with last admission at 11pm; a state-of-the art electronic system manages all bookings; and housekeeping staff are employed everyday.
