Cafe bar looking for new venue in popular Place

A new cafe bar is hoping to open on one of Bath’s most charming streets.

Northumberland Place is a narrow passage crammed with bars and restaurants hidden away opposite the city’s Guildhall.

Now a planning application has been submitted to Bath and North East Somerset Council to open a new cafe bar in an empty premises on the street.

The planning application from Scott Martin of Skogen - a cafe bar and pizza restaurant just outside Solihull - seeks planning permission for a change of use and a redecoration of the shopfront. Skogen wants to paint the timber parts of the shopfront light green, install a new hanging sign, and a canvas awning to cover limited outdoor seating in the summer.
