“Externally it is proposed to close the outer area to customers at 12am and to not allow music externally at any time.

“The rear garden area will include ‘pagodas’ to the eastern side, an outdoor bar, a new roof to an existing covered area and other features to make the garden area useable.

“The proposed rear garden is considered to be a vast improvement to the current situation and would be an attractive addition to the area’s outside seating areas in drinking establishments.”

The borough council has also received a premises licence application from Kerry B Bars Ltd, the company behind The Dirty Habit.
