If approved, customers would be able to use the outdoor seating from 11:00-00:00 every day of the week.

Local residents have until Wednesday, 19 February to submit their representations to the plans.

The Salutation, which reopened under new ownership in 2021 with a carvery offering, has a rich history in the town centre. According to the Campaign for Real Ale, it served as the preferred watering hole for off-duty airmen from RAF Martlesham during the 1920s and 1930s.
