​The business in Huntriss Row, in the town centre, “blends world-class speciality coffee with genuine Yorkshire hospitality”.

​The business uses “top-of-the-line Victoria Arduino and Mahlkonig equipment to expertly prepare our meticulously roasted speciality coffee”.

​FVR Brew Bars Ltd’s plan would see three tables and six chairs placed outside the business on the pavement.

​Members of the public wishing to comment on the plans have been invited to contact the licensing authority no later than Tuesday, August 25.

​In addition to the site at Huntriss Row, Forge Valley Roasters also serves coffee at The Kitchen at The Hillyard within the Dawnay Estates in Wykeham.

​The business’ website states: “You can not only enjoy our handcrafted espresso drinks and seasonal blends but also purchase your favourite beans to take home – we’ll gladly grind them for you if required.”

​Anyone wishing to make representations regarding the application should give notice in writing to: North Yorkshire Council, Licensing Services, Town Hall, St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, YO11 2HG.

​​The authority can also be contacted by email at [email protected].

​​The council’s website states: “It is an offence knowingly or recklessly to make a false statement in connection with an application punishable on summary conviction by an unlimited fine.”
