The listed buiding, known Sheraton House, is built in the Edwardian Baroque style.

Part of the property was previously a Chinese restaurant, So Noodles.

The plans follow a request to vary the premises licence, as reported by Blog Preston in October 2012.

The application states the new pub would be able to open from 9am to 4am on Monday to Sunday.
