The Eating Inn Steakhouse in South shore has lodged another bid to keep its glazed extension

Last year, planners at Blackpool Council turned down a bid by the Eating Inn Steakhouse to keep its glazed extension, saying it conflicted with policies designed to protect the character of the Promenade.

The popular restaurant, in South Shore, had hoped its revised application would be accepted by town hall planners who had already refused a previous scheme for the venue.
