The former West Kirby Social Club is set to become a mix of apartments and an extended home for a neighbouring restaurant.
The club closed its doors in February for financial reasons.
One member told us its numbers had been dwindling, and that the club building was sold and leased back several years ago, in order to generate money to keep it open.
In a statement on Facebook at the time, the club said: “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of West Kirby Social Club on Friday, 2nd February. We sincerely appreciate the support and camaraderie of all our members and patrons throughout the years.
“As we bid farewell, we reflect on the memories and connections made within these walls. Thank you for being a valued part of the West Kirby Social Club community. Your presence has made a lasting impact.
“We hope you cherish the memories and continue to create new ones. Farewell, and thank you for being a part of our journey.”
Now, a planning application has been submitted for a change of use to turn the upper floors into six flats with one and two bedrooms. They would be located at 96, 98 and 100 Banks Road.
On the ground floor, a new shop front would be installed to create extended seating for the Shuhel Balti Indian restaurant, which is located next door.
The restaurant has confirmed that it will occupy the ground floor, if planning permission is granted.
The application can be viewed at https://online.wirral.gov.uk/planning/index.html?fa=getApplication&id=230302.
