The Clifton Lido was GRANTED FULL PLANNING PERMISSION on the 2nd August 2006 for the "Restoration of outdoor pool and associated buildings to provide mixed use development comprising subscription pool and associated spa facilities (with sauna, mud rooms, treatment rooms, meeting rooms etc) and restaurant and poolside bar/lounge".
