Architects images show how the owners of an Italian restaurant plan to transform empty landed in the heart of Ponteland.
Last June the owners of the Railot Italian restaurant in Ponteland first launched plans to create The Orchard, so it could serve food in an outdoor area at the back of the main building.
Rialto has now submitted plans to change the use of the land in the Northumberland village, having already secured licensing permission to create The Orchard, a social space it says will be to promote local businesses, food and drink stalls.
