A DECISION on plans to build a new restaurant at the Bombay Sapphire Distillery, in Laverstoke, is set to be made by the end of this month.

As previously reported by The Gazette, Laverstoke Park Farm and Bombay Sapphire have teamed up and submitted a planning application to open a new restaurant at the visitor centre which opened on October 1.

But Bombay Sapphire has written to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council to extend the time taken to make a decision on the application. A decision is now set to be made before November 30.
