Plans have been lodged to convert a vacant property near Church Street into a bar and restaurant.
Proposals have been submitted to transform 2 Scarborough Street which has “been empty for over two years”, according to planning documents. The application from Mr Anthony Sewell notes the site was last used as a two-bedroom house but he is now seeking to convert it into a new “bar/restaurant business”.
A planning statement explains the ground and first floors will be public areas, with the kitchen located in the basement and a private staff space to be on the second floor. It adds “limited external works” proposed include “repairs and improvements” to the windows and paint however “there are no proposed changes to the front facade”.
The application falls within the boundaries of Hartlepool Development Corporation, which means that organisation will make the decision on the plans. Recent examples of other work in Scarborough Street includes Key Property Enterprises renovating seven adjoining properties, numbers 15-27, to provide “high quality” apartments and commercial units.
