The local authority will then decide whether or not to give planning permission to the venture.
A statement put forward by an architecture company dealing with the application says: "The proposal is for the creation of a restaurant serving hot food.
"The restaurant menu would be Mediterranean style dishes like pasta, salad, meats and pizzas.

"The style and the decoration of the restaurant would be done to a very good standard.
"A bar is also proposed, which will require a separate licensing application."
The Stuart Road venue has been empty since January this year, when Crawshaws Butchers' Pontefract business closed due to financial troubles.
