Troubled developer John Steven has insisted his plans to turn the Dome on Plymouth Hoe into a 'Hard Rock Cafe-style' eaterie have not been derailed by his current financial woes.

Mr Steven, who has put his gastropub chain into administration, said yesterday this would not affect the Dome, nor a new restaurant in the Glassblowing House at Sutton Harbour.

The Glassblowing House would open in about six weeks, he said yesterday.

Work on the Dome would start soon afterwards.
