No external changes would be proposed and the proposal would be adjacent to other like minded uses.”
Proposed opening hours are 11am until midnight, Monday to Thursday, 11am until 1am on Friday and Saturday and 11am until 11pm on Sunday.
If given the go-ahead from the council, the micro bar expects to employ nine members of staff – comprising five full-time employees and four part-time employees.
