A popular pub in Sunderland that closed down could be transformed into a restaurant if plans are approved.
The Davy Lamp pub off Brick Garth in Easington Lane, Houghton-le-Spring, closed and the vendor put the business up for sale earlier this year. The property, which had a pub on the ground floor and a three-bedroom flat on the first floor, was sold vacant.
Sunderland City Council's planning department received a planning bid for the pub in June to change the use of the ground floor bar to a restaurant and keep the first floor in residential use. Plans also include installing a new flue to the flat roof/rear elevation.
