Falmouth's former One Stop Shop is to be turned into a sports bar and restaurant called The Dark Horse.

Developer Skyblueproperties has been given conditional approval and the building in 34 Church Street was discussed by Falmouth Town Council's licensing committee on Monday evening.

Licensee Simon Fudge attended the meeting and the police licensing officer also submitted comments.

Mr Fudge advised that it was to be a sports bar and did not want a late licence and he would stop trading at midnight.

The licensing officer advised that she had worked with him prior to the submission of the application and was satisfied with the conditions that would be in place.

The council raised no objection to the proposal.

Cornwall Council gave the go-ahead to converting the Church Street building into a bar/restaurant on the ground floor and three first floor flats in July last year.
