CONTROVERSIAL plans for a new takeaway food shop in a village centre have made planning bosses stop and think.
Members of Warrington’s development control committee will not make a decision on the scheme, in
Common Lane, Culcheth, until they have visited the site.
Villagers have been complaining for years that Culcheth has too many takeaways and food outlets.
The new scheme would involve converting an existing building and adding a single storey extension.
But Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council has lodged strong objections.
Members say the proposed opening hours – 10am to 11.30pm Sunday to Thursday and 10am to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays – are too late.
They argue that there will be increased litter and a demand for parking in an area already unable to cope with the number of parked vehicles.
Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council have objected to the proposed development on the grounds that the opening hours are too late, there will be increased litter and it will create an increased demand for parking.
