In addition to the new terrace, which will be able to accommodate 24 people, the café will also be making changes to its existing terrace.
Regarding the first-floor extension and new windows, council officers said that “no property near the application site would be overlooked, overshadowed or dominated by the proposal” and as such there would be “no other detrimental impact on amenity”.
The seaside café – opposite Luna Park and near to Scarborough’s historic toll house – has said that the plans will also allow it to create a new full-time job opening.
