Middlesbrough’s only Grade I listed building has applied for a booze licence.
Acklam Hall is being developed into a business and conference centre, restaurant and function space for weddings.
The refurbishment of the hall and a housing development on the grounds of the 17th century building have proved controversial - with several objections being made.
Acklam Hall Ltd submitted the application for a premises licence to Middlesbrough Council.
The licensable activities applied for are: plays, films, live music, recorded music, performance of dance, and anything of similar description, provision of late-night refreshments and supply of alcohol.
The hours applied for are Monday to Thursday 10am to 11pm and Friday to Sunday 10am to 2am for licensable activities. For the sale of alcohol, the hours applied for are Monday to Thursday 9am to 11pm and Friday to Sunday 9am to 12am.
The hall, built in 1680, boasts original intricate clay features of rosebuds, birds and dragons along the ceilings which have been carefully patched up and replicated.
The last part of the hall to be built, in 1912, is ready to be fitted and will be the main formal dining area.
A spokesman for Middlesbrough Council said: “We can confirm we are in receipt of an application in respect of a premises licence for Acklam Hall. Any member of the public wishing to make representations should do so by Tuesday, February 24.”
A record of the application can be inspected at the licensing officer at Vancouver House.
Anyone wishing to object to the application should write to Middlesbrough Council, Licensing Office, Vancouver House, Central Mews, Gurney Street, Middlesbrough. Representations must be made in writing and no later than 28 days from the date of application.
