Huge update on new G.O.A.T sports bar in Cleveleys as signage goes up
Work is currently ongoing inside to prepare the bar for its eventual opening.
New signage has gone up at sports bar which is earmarked to open in Cleveleys town centre - and there’s even the figure of a goat on the roof.
Earlier this year a planning application was lodged with Wyre Council for a change of use of the former Rogerson’s Family Butchers at 110 Victoria Road West into a bar/public house.
The new establishment is to be called The G.O.A.T Cleveleys and the plans have been put forward by applicants TGC 53 Ltd, who have already established a sports bar called The G.O.A.T on Highfield Road in South Shore.
The term stands for Greatest of All Time and is used to describe the best person in a sport, music or other endeavours.
Work is currently ongoing inside to prepare the bar for its eventual opening.
After submitting plans in April, further details were then, including a Planning Statement which said: “The proposal seeks to bring an underutilised unit back into active commercial use within Cleveleys town centre, supporting local investment, employment opportunities, and the continued vitality of the high street.
“The proposed development includes internal reconfiguration and refurbishment works and an external staircase access to the roof terrace.
“The proposal does not involve any significant extension to the building footprint and no major structural alterations are proposed at ground floor level.
“The premises will operate as a drinks-led venue under the trading name ‘The G.O.A.T Cleveleys’ and will provide alcohol sales and regulated entertainment in accordance with the associated premises licence application.
“The roof terrace will operate under active management and supervision. Noise levels will be controlled in accordance with licensing requirements.”
Proposed opening times
It is proposed that the premises will operate from Monday–Wednesday 10am to 12.30 am, Thursday–Saturday 10am to 1.30 am and Sunday 10am to 12.30am.
The roof terrace will operate daily between 10am and 9pm. After closure, customers remaining on the premises will be accommodated within the internal licensed area only.
The planning application has yet to be determined by Wyre Council and it is likely the proposals will go before a planning committee meeting at a future date.
As part of the application, a noise assessment has been carried out for the applicants by GTR Acoustic of Lytham, which stated: “The designated premises supervisor (DPS) will have the responsibility for ensuring that noise nuisances and hazards arising from the premises are minimised.
“A range of management control methods will be implemented at the premises, including but not limited to site staff being made aware that they are working in the vicinity of noise-sensitive receptors and avoid all unnecessary noise due to music levels, opening of doors/windows or excessive noise from patrons.
“Staff training will involve reviewing the Noise Management Plan. All operational staff will be responsible for reporting any noise problems immediately to the DPS.”
An assessment by Wyre’s environmental health officer has raised some concerns about noise from the roof terrace and an over-reliance of staff management measures to control noise levels.
Rogersons Family Butchers, was a thriving business but in February the owners, Vickie and Simon Rogerson, announced they were reluctantly closing down for health reasons and thanked customers for their support.
