New sports bar & grill planned for Burnley - and 8 other new applications this week in East Lancashire
Plans have been tabled for a new sports bar and grill in Burnley.
Saturn Management Entertainment & Leisure Ltd has applied for permission to change the use of Bethesda House in Bethesda Street, from a restaurant and cafe.
As well as changing the use, they also propose internal refurbishment and layout improvements of the former Oriental Buffet, and intend to call the venue Playa Player Sports Bar & Grill.
A statement to Burnley Borough Council says: “The proposal seeks consent for a change of use from restaurant/bar to sports bar and grill, reflecting the intended operation as a food-led venue with televised sports, occasional DJ sets, and live sports-related entertainment.”
The premises will offer:
• Casual dining and grill-style menu
• Televised live sport across multiple screens
• Occasional live commentary or DJ events
• Bar service within standard licensed hours
• Strictly managed sound levels, as per the site’s Noise Management Policy
The statement adds: “The refurbishment is part of wider regeneration within this end of Burnley town centre, supporting economic recovery, job creation, and local investment. The venue aims to provide a safe, well -managed, and modern leisure environment that complements nearby hospitality and retail businesses.”
Applicants say there will be “minor cosmetic updates to external signage and lighting will reflect the new brand identity (Playa Player Sports Bar & Grill), using tasteful, modern design consistent with Burnley town centre character”.
A decision will be made in coming weeks by Burnley Borough Council.
