Restaurant chain Pizza Express could open in Maldon.
And council officers claim it will "enliven" the whole area and complement the High Street setting and its evening attractions.
Developers Dragon Leisure has lodged plans with Maldon District Council to refurbish and convert 69 to 71 High Street recently the site of the Warehouse Booksale Company.

Members of the central area planning committee have been recommended to approve the plans when they meet on Wednesday, subject to support from English Heritage, because the building is Grade II listed.
