Permission granted for The Hut Group’s New Gym and Spa on Booth Street
EKPS have secured consent on behalf of THG at the former 1761 and Lilys Bar, within Manchester City Centre.
The scheme, designed by EPR Architects, seeks to provide a new Gym and Spa facility for members and residents of King Street Townhouse. The spa would occupy the basement, formerly Lily’s Bar, and the gym would be situated on the ground floor, previously home to a restaurant called 1761. The gym would be accessed through the main doors of the former restaurant, while the spa would be accessed through the basement from King Street Townhouse or the former entrance to Lily’s Bar.
EKPS were responsible for providing planning strategy advice, the coordination and submission of the planning application and leading on discussions with planning officers throughout the pre-application and determination process. The application was approved under delegated powers on 25th September 2020.
