Plans submitted for new micropub and wine bar in Ashington

A change of use planning application has been submitted for a vacant unit at Meadowfield Shopping Parade, North Seaton.

It was previously occupied by Kelly's Kakeaway.

A planning document on behalf of Ingleby Barwick Land & Property Developments details some of the plans.

The report by Lichfields states: “Planning permission is sought for the change of use of Unit 4 at Meadowfield shopping parade from a bakery (Class E) to micro beer and wine bar (Sui Generis Wine Bar). No external alterations are proposed as part of this planning application.

“The proposed development would occupy a vacant unit within Meadowfield shopping parade and bring associated economic and social benefits.

“Due to the site’s location in a commercial area, it is not considered that there would be any impacts on amenity for nearby residents. In addition, the opening hours of the unit can be conditioned to protect residential amenity.”
