Plans to demolish the cafe and shop at Williamson Park in Lancaster have been approved.
The Pavilion Cafe closed in 2025 after suffering damage in Storm Eowyn last January, and there are long-term plans to replace it.
Thirteen councillors on the Lancaster City Council planning regulatory committee voted in favour of the demolition, with none against and no abstentions, at a meeting at Morecambe Town Hall on Monday.
The council had proposed closing the timber-framed building, which dates from 1987, on health and safety grounds.
"The building is no longer open to public due to the deterioration of the structural condition rendering it unsafe," said a council report, published before the meeting.
"There is an outdoor seating area to the front of the building which has a mix of surface treatments (paving, cobbles and tarmac) and partially enclosed by white fencing.
"The proposal is to demolish the café and shop building on the grounds of health and safety risks. It is proposed that the cleared site will be finished with York stone paving to be enclosed by a white 2.2 picket fence, pending the finalisation of a longer-term plan for the site.
"Planning permission is required for the demolition given the location of the site within the Conservation Area.
"The submission sets out that the proposed works are the first stages of a redevelopment scheme which Lancaster City Council are currently exploring.
"The dangerous condition of the building has resulted in the council's Building Control department serving a section 78 Dangerous Building - Emergency Notice under the Building Act. This notice sets out that the structure is wholly dangerous and requires its demolition to remove the danger it currently represents to the public."
A statement from Lancaster Civic Vision said they "regret the loss of this building but accept that the structure is no longer fit for purpose".
"We ask that a full photographic record is made before demolition.
"We regret that there no proposals for a replacement of the café, shop and toilets and trust that work will be put in hand as soon as possible to provide appropriate facilities (even if only temporary) ahead of the next tourist season."
The Pavilion Cafe building was the former Garden Café at the 1986 National Gardens Festival in Stoke-on-Trent before being relocated to Williamson Park.
Also at Monday's meeting, councillors voted unanimously in favour of a plan to replace the platform lift and railing at the Ashton Memorial at the park.
The proposed replacement platform lift will be an 'open top' design of a reduced height, and the adjoining balustrade railings will be replaced with glazing.
