PLANS for a proposed new bar in Carlisle city centre will have to be resubmitted after Cumberland Council finally disposed of the planning application.

It was for a site in The Crescent and would have involved the change of use from retail to as a wine bar.

A decision notice, which has been issued by the council, states: "Despite several requests for additional information, no response has been received.

"Accordingly, under Article 36) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2010, the council is finally disposing of the application.

"You are reminded that no development should be carried out without the necessary planning approval being attained."

A total of two planning applications were submitted by the applicant, one for the change of use, and the other requested adjustments to the existing toilets, adaptation of the existing cellar into storage/office and the installation of a bar area on the ground floor.

According to a heritage statement, which was submitted as part of the application, the building is within Carlisle City Centre Conservation Area and part of a terraced crescent.

The report states: "Each of the buildings on The Crescent are listed as Grade II. The original buildings date from the early 19th Century, with the first documented evidence of their completion being mentioned in a tour of Carlisle in 1820, and they featured on John Wood's map of Carlisle in 1821."

It adds that the buildings were constructed in two phases, six original buildings which were completed first, with the three additional buildings started in 1824.

According to the report the buildings have undergone various changes over the years and all now feature 20th Century shop fronts.

It states that previously the building was used as a travel agent before being converted into a takeaway in 2007.

According to the report the proposed works were aimed at preserving the significance of the property while at the same time enhancing its usefulness as a wine bar.

It states: "The interior works on the ground floor aims to remove an existing partition wall and open the usable floor space.

"In addition, the proposal seeks to add in a false ceiling to preserve the original from harm, which in turn will house the air conditioning pipework and new wiring for the lighting."
