Ipswich Borough Council has received plans from Colchester-based company OMCI to convert the former Monsoon building at 33 Westgate Street to create a new opening between the site and the former Tessuti, which has been empty since 2023.
The building is Grade II-listed and has been empty since Monsoon closed in July 2019.
The planners have now approved the development, with conditions to ensure that the development and its subsequent fittings are carried out in accordance with the drawing presented to the council.
The borough council had previously approved plans for the building to become a café in 2021 - as such, permission was not needed to use the space as a café.
If plans are approved, the new openings between the two buildings will improve seating capacity.
Proposed floor plans show that there will be space for 102 customers across two floors at any one time, with lift and stair access.
