Two bars in the Gay Village, a warehouse-turned-party-space near the city centre and a new Italian delicatessen and restaurant in Cholrton had their plans approved by the town hall this week. Area in Sackville Street has been allowed to extend its opening hours to 5am despite local residents' concerns.
Elsewhere on the same street, EVA has been given the green light to put two extra bars outside the premises during the Manchester Pride weekend after a dispute with council staff. Meanwhile, on the edge of the city centre, a former warehouse which has been converted into a space for corporate parties has had its application approved for events to take place indoors until 1.30am.
However, its request to host outdoor events until 11pm was rejected. And in Chorlton, an Italian delicatessen and restaurant with branches in Didsbury and Wilmslow, has been given an alcohol licence ahead of opening later this year.
