An application for a new eatery that would bring “high dining” to a Wigan township has been withdrawn.

There has been no explanation as to why the plan to convert a Standish home into an up-market restaurant has been shelved.

The intention was to transform and expand the premises, at 14 Cross Street so that it could host 30 diners.

Blueprints included a self-contained flat over the restaurant in addition to two and single-storey extensions at the rear.

Approval of the plans would have made it the latest restaurant in the area, following Copper Vines opening last year.

The pub promised to have a warm and cosy feel to it, but also contain twists that had been picked up from travels around the world to add a trendy vibe to what is already a vibrant village.
