A new restaurant is to be opened by the owner of Ryde’s popular Ada Mediterranean Kitchen. Planners have given the go ahead to Sinan Keskin’s application for a change of use of 165 High Street in Ryde.
Mr Keskin’s proposal 25/00728/FUL is for a ‘relaxed bistro type venue’ at the premises, previously home to a Caring Cancer Trust shop and prior to that, Hobbs Jewellers, which closed in August 2017.
Caring Cancer Trust left the property at the end of 2024, according to a Design and Access Statement.
County Hall’s decision report says: “The proposed restaurant use would increase footfall in this part of the High Street, which would benefit the economy of the various surrounding uses.”
Planners attached seven conditions to the consent for reasons of legal and planning policy compliance, mitigating ‘impacts from odour’ and protecting local amenity.
