TheBoardroom appears to have closed its doors, nearly two years after opening on Bank Square.
Vans were outside the bar and restaurant on Sunday morning loading up and we understand it has not been open since.
In July Quorum Estates Ltd submitted an application for the change of use of 4-6 Bank Square, stating that the existing tenant is due to vacate the premises in August.
The applications seeks permission for a change of use from a drinking establishment (Class A4) to business premises (Class B1). This would enable the building to be used for offices (other than financial and professional services), research and development purposes or for light industry.
The application seeks to keep their options open by requesting A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 use as well, which would enable new tenants to operate shops, financial and professional services, restaurants and cafes, hot food takeaways or another drinking establishment from the premises.
The planning application can be viewed on the Cheshire East Council website by searching for planning reference 12/2959M. A decision is expected to be made by 11th October.
We have contacted Colin McKevitt, who opened TheBoardroom at the end of November 2010, but he has declined to comment.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Wilmslow and surrounding area has more than enough thriving pubs/restaurants/bars who do not need to turn 'dirty' in a bid for custom.
It was well-run.
What doesn't help is when the so-called artisan market comes into town with their pre-purchased food - most likely not purchased in Wilmslow - and sells it to undercut all the cafes and bars who pay fixed rents and rates for their permanent premises and takes important revenue away.
Yes, artisan markets and their multi-coloured candles and other tat - 1
poor struggling bar-owner with a voice and a genuine complaint - nil
