A heritage statement on behalf of the applicant states the site is an important building in the area.
It said the proposal to convert the office building into a cafe/bar will “preserve the front facade in its entirety” and the alternations will have “minimal impact on the appearance, character and setting” of the “important building” within the redevelopment of Scarborough Street and Church Street.
Mr Bianco has also submitted a licensing application to the council outlining the times they want to open.

Steps to be taken to uphold the licensing objectives will include full CCTV in operation, suitable staff training, no supply of alcohol to anyone intoxicated and signage to request people respect customers, staff and neighbouring properties.
