Leeds City Council officials met to rule on whether applicant Further Afield Pubs Ltd can operate the site as a pub once again in August 2020 but the panel did not publicly reveal what was agreed at the end of the meeting.
The council’s licensing sub-committee met for more than two hours with around half being held in private.
