Brand of new 24-hour town centre casino revealed

The brand of a new adult gaming centre coming to town has been revealed.Last year, The Cornshire Group was granted planning permission to change the use of the former Blue Inc clothing store in Lynn’s St Dominic’s Square.Since then, Luxury Leisure has become the proposed operator of the premises – and planning documents say it intends to trade as an Admiral Casino.

A new planning application seeking to make amendments to the existing entrance to the building is currently out for consultation, with that process coming to a close this Wednesday.Last month, an amendment to the original application was approved which will allow the new casino to operate 24 hours a day.This means there will be two 24-hour adult gaming centres within a stone’s throw of each other – joining the nearby Merkur Slots in the Vancouver Quarter. A document submitted by Lichfields planning consultants has said the changes to the building will “encourage a more active frontage via reducing the recessed area, achieved by bringing the unit’s principal façade forward, towards Broad Walk and Broad Street”.It adds: “In line with Admiral AGCs elsewhere a yellow door surround to the entrance door is also proposed as part of this application. This will improve the vibrancy of the unit. “We would flag that the opening of the unit as an Admiral Casino relies on this current planning application being determined as quickly as possible.“Our client is very keen to avoid delaying the opening of this adult gaming centre beyond the original date this July given the significant investment already made and the added cost arising from missing this opening date.“We would therefore request that this application is expedited and determined without delay to ensure the vacant unit is brought into active use as quickly as possible.”
