The date when a decision will be made on demolition of a former ice cream making depot in Lancaster has been announced.
Demolition plans for the former Macari's depot on St Leonardgate will go before Lancaster City Council's planning regulatory committee on Monday September 2.
Plans have gone asking for permission to knock down the buildings as part of the mooted Canal Quarter development.
If permission is granted, six outbuildings and stone walls on the St Leonardgate car park will be demolished, temporary hoardings will be put up and asbestos will be removed.
The site is part of an area earmarked for housing, as the city council aims to build on the car parks in future.
The six small industrial buildings date back to the mid-to-late 20th century, and were built and used by the iconic Lancaster ice cream making family business A. Macari & Sons for the production of ice cream. They have been empty for many years.
According to a planning report, published in advance of the meeting, Lancaster City Council has received two letters from members of the public supporting the demolition, saying "the buildings are an eyesore and a magnet for litter, and the largest structure is now unsafe and should be removed before it deteriorates further".
City council planners have recommended that permission be granted to demolish the buildings.
The planning regulatory committee, made up of a group of elected councillors, will have the final say.
The meeting is at Morecambe Town Hall, starting at 10.30am, and is open to the public.
