People look set to be able to enjoy al fresco dining on Felixstowe seafront all summer long this year - with proposals for a spill out area set to be approved tomorrow.
Council experts are also looking to make the outdoor eating and drinking attraction permanent and are currently working on a more detailed project including permanent groundworks.
That application will come later this year, but in the meantime East Suffolk Council s south area planning committee is being recommended on May 25 to give the go-ahead to a temporary scheme to allow bars and restaurants on the seafront to use the area for the next year.

Planners have approved proposals to demolish a well-known Suffolk auction house and replace it with new homes - despite concerns from highways officials.
Diamond Mills wants to knock down its hall – which has stood in Orwell Road, Felixstowe, since the 1950s – and build seven new homes on the site.
It is the last auction house in the town - the other, run by Bannisters, closed some years ago.
Suffolk County Council highways is unhappy with the homes plan for the Diamond Mills site. It says eight parking spaces for seven four-bed homes is not enough - and 23 should be provided.
