“It will provide an opportunity for those who may not consider entering the gallery, to engage in art activities both for themselves and their children in a safe and inspiring way,” the spokesman added.
As part of its plans, the gallery would replace an area of shingle with a sand-coloured paving, and an area of pavement with a pedestrian crossover, in order to allow vehicular access to the area.
The gallery would also place planters, seating and anti-seagull bunting within the area, said the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
The events space would also be used for creative activities for school groups, bespoke arts workshops, and musical and theatrical performances.
