The Ginger Giraffe has been a big success since opening within a warehouse at the former Midland General bus garage on Alfreton Road.
Now it has applied to convert part of the warehouse into an additional room to create a function space behind the venue’s kitchen, which was granted planning permission in 2021
Drawings have been submitted by the applicant’s agent, Sam Cobham, of Heanor-based company, SJC Architecture.
They reveal that the conversion would increase the internal floorspace of the boozer from 165.2 square metres to 229.4 square metres.
The Ginger Giraffe, which employs one full-time member of staff and one part-time, promotes itself as 'a friendly and welcoming micropub with a range of different beers, cocktails and spirits'.
It provides outdoor seating and free entertainment, via live acts, most weekends.
It also shows live sport, such as England and Nottingham Forest football matches and Six Nations rugby games, on big-screen TVs.
The council’s planning officers are currently considering the extension scheme and hope to make a decision or recommendation within the coming weeks.
