PLANS to cook hot food on site at a traditional sweet shop and tea room have suffered a set back as a result of a decision by Warrington planners.
The borough council’s planning committee has refused permission for Hall’s Victorian Sweet Shop and Tea Room to expand the use of their premises in Warrington Road, Glazebury.
The proposals would have allowed the cooking of soups, stews and bacon on the premises, instead of being cooked elsewhere, delivered to the site and reheated.
There would have been no alterations to the appearance of the premises and no increase in staff. Planning officers recommended the scheme be approved – but there were objections from Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council and from residents of nearby houses.
Residents feared a worsening of existing parking problems in Whalley Avenue and the eventual use of the property as a takeaway. There were also objections from people living in Lowfield Gardens, who feared additional noise and cooking smells.

These people ought to get a life!
I agree with CTP, it is a thriving little business that has been shafted by it’s neighbours and not a good start for the newly elected Parish Council.
Guess that it will be won on Appeal, given that the recommendation was to approve.
Cooking smellas are just a part of life, do people around there live on salads and raw meat?
My next door neighbours are from Pakistan and the lady of the house often cooks on a Friday evening and leaves the windows open in her kitchen…. the gorgeous smells that emanate from there is enough to get me on the phone dialling an Indian take away…. so doing what she does actually helps the local economy!!! 🙂
