Star Pubs and Bars have lodged the application for The Trinity Inn in James Street West, near Kingsmead Square.
They say they want to improve the outside drinking area where there is currently a pavement licence for customers’ use, consisting of picnic benches, umbrellas and café barriers.
The intention is to remove the portable furniture and provide a new more permanent structure in the form of a timber-framed parklet with seating booths, with all sides and roof sections provided with a clear plastic roll-up wind protector which would be securely fixed and locked when not in use.
The parklet would also have heaters and festoon lighting.
The application highlights that The Trinity is in a vibrant area with bars and restaurants, most of which already have external seating areas.
The planning reference is 24/01762/FUL. The deadline for comments is 20th June.
