A decision on transforming Stockport Pyramid into a large curry restaurant is imminent.
- Royal Nawaab proposes turning the site into a venue for 1,500 diners, spread over three floors.
- The development aims to boost local employment and contribute to the economy.
- Storage and office spaces are planned for the upper levels of the building.
- A final verdict from the Stockport council will be given on November 14.
Next month presents a crucial juncture for the future of the Stockport Pyramid, as deliberations unfold regarding its proposed transformation into a significant dining establishment. The plan, spearheaded by Royal Nawaab, aims to reimagine the iconic structure into a spacious venue with the capacity to cater to 1,500 guests, spanning three distinct levels.
Royal Nawaab’s vision extends beyond dining; it seeks to invigorate the local economy by creating jobs and offering a unique venue capable of hosting large-scale events such as weddings. This ambitious project promises not only to preserve the site but also to enhance its utility, making it a vibrant hub for social gatherings and community engagement.
Integral to this proposal is the allocation of the building’s upper levels for storage and office purposes to support the restaurant’s operations. This strategic utilisation of space ensures that the entire building is effectively repurposed, honouring its architectural heritage while adapting to modern commercial needs.
The Pyramid, originally opened in 1992 and occupying a prominent spot along the M60, previously served as a facility for the Co-operative Bank. Following its vacancy, there have been concerns about the potential deterioration of this architectural landmark. The current proposal not only addresses these concerns but seeks to breathe new life into the structure.
The journey towards this transformation began with the submission of a planning application in July last year. Local area committees are currently evaluating the proposal, with anticipation building as the definitive hearing before Stockport council’s planning panel is set for November 14.
The forthcoming decision on this development has the potential to redefine the landmark’s role within the community.
