Plans have been lodged with Blackpool Council which could see 23 new homes built in South Shore.
An outline application (23/0449) has been submitted seeking permission to demolish an existing warehouse on Stanmore Avenue and replace it with buildings containing 23 flats.
Applicant Colin Blanthorn says the site is situated in a mixed area which contains some homes as well as commercial buildings and a car park to the rear. The warehouse earmarked for demolition dates back to around 1935.
A design statement accompanying the application says the warehouse has had a long-standing commercial use, primarily for storage and distribution and more recently for retail use, with ancillary offices.
However, it adds: “The proposed development would be more in keeping with the general residential area of Stanmore Avenue and the adjacent streets.”
