Search the Public Notice PortalPLANS have been submitted to build a new bistro extension to help revitalise a Wrexham village pub.
The proposals relates to the Royal Oak pub in Bangor-on-Dee as part of efforts to secure its long-term future.
The pub has been closed for more than a year - but was bought at auction earlier this year for £212,000.
The application seeks permission for a single-storey bistro at the rear of the pub. According to planning documents, the extension would provide additional dining space, a bar and servery area, and direct access to the pub's existing kitchen facilities.
Planning agents say the development would support the continued operation of the Royal Oak following its reopening, while expanding its food and hospitality offering.
The submitted planning statement says that the proposal presents an opportunity to bring the premises back into active use. It adds that the new bistro would help create a sustainable business model capable of supporting the pub in the long term.
Design plans show a contemporary single-storey extension with a simple gabled roof, large glazed elevations and rooflights. Applicants say the building has been deliberately designed to remain subordinate to the existing pub, ensuring the Royal Oak remains the dominant structure on the site.
The site lies within the Bangor-on-Dee Conservation Area, and the planning statement argues that the scale, siting and appearance of the extension have been carefully considered to respect the area's historic character.
The application highlights Bangor-on-Dee's visitor attractions, including the River Dee, Bangor Bridge, St Dunawd's Church and Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse, arguing that enhanced food and drink facilities could encourage visitors to spend longer in the village.

Applicants also state that sufficient parking would remain available at the site and that the proposal complies with local planning policies relating to conservation areas, design and parking standards.
In its conclusion, the planning statement says the development would provide an "enhanced food and hospitality offer" for both local residents and visitors while helping secure the future of the Royal Oak.
The application will be considered by Wrexham Council in due course.
