Dominos Pizza to open new branch at former tanning salon in Kirkham town centre
Dominos is to open a new branch in Kirkham.
The pizza chain has set its sights on a former tanning salon, Kirkham Sun Centre, in Poulton Street.
The salon closed last year and Dominos has submitted plans to Fylde Council to convert the premises into a takeaway.
The pizza shop would be located on the ground floor and two one-bedroom flats would be created on the upper floors of the three-storey terraced building. Both flats would be accessed via a new external staircase at the rear of the property.
Plans drawn up by Scales Architecture on behalf of applicant Mr F Essap include the demolition of an existing "poor quality" single-storey rear extension, thought to date from the 1960s, and its replacement with a larger part single-storey, part two-storey extension almost doubling the footprint from 19 sqm to 38 sqm.
A new shopfront would be installed facing Poulton Street, with the existing upper-floor windows replaced with white uPVC mock sash double-glazed units and maintenance work carried out on the facade.

An odour extraction flue would be fitted to the rear roof plane, along with solar panels on the rear roof slope. There is no car parking included in the proposals, though covered and secure cycle parking would be provided in the rear yard alongside designated bin storage on new permeable paving.
The application, reference 26/0093, is now open for public comment via Fylde Council's planning portal.
Dominos was approached for comment.
