The scheme for the former Koko’s nightclub complex at 3 – 5 Elizabeth Street, will comprise 15 self-contained, supported living units and could end several years of uncertainty over the use of the building.

A previous scheme to transform the five-storey building into 14 residential apartments was approved by planners back in 2014.

And a proposal to convert the building into a restaurant and offices was passed by Burnley Council in 2017.
