A new venue at the Old Granada Studios site in Manchester has been given a late night licence despite objections from neighbours. The Lower Stables in the St John's development was granted a licence on Tuesday (May 9) but the bar, restaurant and event space is not expected to open until later this year.

The St John's district - which will also offer retail and hospitality outlets - has been designed to be 'one of the best' media, tech and creative hub in Europe.
The BBC's Morning Live programme is already based in the area at the ABC Buildings on Quay Street, while Sky, Amazon Prime and ITV have all used its studios. In total, 762 apartments are planned in two buildings within the site.

Alcohol can also be sold until half past midnight from Monday to Wednesday while food can be served half an hour later every night. Eight residents raised concerns about the application for the licence as well as the local councillors.
