Three businesses in Scarborough and Whitby have applied to the council for alcohol licences.

The Green Dragon Ale House in Whitby and Seven Coffee Shop and Eatery and The Distillers Lounge in Scarborough, are seeking premises licences to serve alcohol. Located at 4-5 Grape Lane near Whitby Bridge, the Green Dragon Ale House is seeking to vary its licence in order to implement several changes.

If approved, the new licence would permit the consumption of alcohol on both sides of the property and would allow access via the doorway at 5 Grape Lane. The pub would also have permission for external advertising of alcohol while a current condition restricting the "on-sale of alcohol to be ancillary to off-sales" would be removed.

The deadline for public representations regarding this application is Thursday, July 4. In Scarborough, The Distillers Lounge on 19 Aberdeen Walk, has applied for a premises licence to serve alcohol from 10am to 11pm Monday to Saturday and until 10pm on Sundays.
