Blackpool EasyHotel site on the market
With a guide price of £500,000, the nearly half-acre plot off the beach town’s promenade has planning permission for a 103-bedroom hotel.
EasyHotel had secured planning approval for the hotel in 2019 from Blackpool Council. The company purchased the site at 429 Promenade shortly thereafter for £675,000, according to HM Land Registry records – a sum that is 35% more than the site’s current guide price.
The approved five-storey hotel was designed by Axiom Architects and includes a ground-floor restaurant. Of the 103 bedrooms proposed, 30 would have no windows.
EasyHotel has already commenced the delivery of the future hotel, having undertaken foundation and basement structural work.
Agent Christie & Co, which is marketing the site, notes that a future buyer would have the ability to sign a franchise agreement with EasyHotel if they wished.
You can learn more about the planning permission for the hotel by searching reference number 19/0056 on Blackpool Council’s planning portal.
That really is a horrible building.

Don’t worry, it many not even be built out to that design.

I actually feel sick looking at the CGI

Is the CGI meant to show the build as post-development?

Hi Anonymous – that is correct. It is a CGI of the scheme the site has planning permission for.

I used to live behind the building site which is currently an eyesore because Easy Hotels building teams were unable to complete the job. It will be hard for Security to prevent local flytipping and the build up of litter.
There had previously been a hotel on the site which was demolished. The ground was cleared and used for parking (a current project is underway for the former Hartes building).
Once there was also a funfair which was too close to housing; I recall seeing people on the ride from my lounge.Obviously the noise was antisocial.
Any tall building will dominate local housing.
It would be good if the site were turned into a park instead.
