Plans approved for new 'high quality' Hartlepool pizza restaurant
Plans to convert a former Hartlepool Marina bar into a “high-quality” artisan pizza restaurant have been approved.
Proposals have been given the go-ahead by Hartlepool Borough Council’s planning department to carry out internal and external refurbishments at 34 Navigation Point.
The application from David Doughty at DAAJ states the site will become home to a restaurant named Stone Fired Pizza after an investment “well in excess of six figures”.
The unit has been “vacant for a significant period” and was previously home to bars including The Intro and Screams Court.
Plans state works will “facilitate the operation of an artisan pizza restaurant and bar” and “support a high-quality dining and social venue” along with creating “approximately 10–15 local jobs”.
A report from council planning officers confirmed the application has been ruled “acceptable”.
A licensing application has also been submitted for the premises seeking to gain the restaurant permission to serve alcohol on-site from noon to 11pm and play recorded music from 11am-11pm.
