It also wants to open its outdoor bar seven days a week and to close every day at 2.30am.

A decision is yet to be made by West Northamptonshire Council.

The details of the application were posted on Spotted: Duston's Facebook page, which garnered a mix of reviews.

One person said: "This pub is in a residential area and I do not think it should be allowed to go through. There is already anti-social behaviour in and around Malcolm Drive due to drunk patrons.

"There has been fighting witnessed, patrons using people's driveways as urinals and some issues with drug dealing."

Another person replied saying: "Having been shut for a year or more, I have huge respect for our local hospitality venues and wish them the best of luck when they are able top reopen, particularly if they are employing local people."

Anyone who would like to have their say should email [email protected] before June 14.

The Sevens was contacted for comment but had not responded at time of writing.
