Plan submitted for restaurant and takeaway in Ripon food hotspot
Ripon's food and drink hotspot may see a new hospitality business arriving in the New Year following the submission of a planning application to North Yorkshire Council.
The application for a change of use would, if approved, see the former offices of Newtons Solicitors at 4 Duck Hill turned into a restaurant and hot food takeaway.
The potential operator is un-named in the application which, if successful, would see the restaurant and takeaway using the ground and upper floor of the building.
