A BASINGSTOKE restaurant could soon host more diners if plans are given the green light by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council.

Italian restaurant Zizzi has applied to the borough council for permission to use public space at the front of the restaurant at the Top of The Town for five tables and 10 chairs.

The application says: “The provision of outside tables and chairs will noticeably add to the vitality and character of the area and will enable the current business operation to prosper.”
