Protests over new take-away seem doomed
Wednesday, 5th May 2010.
Residents who have protested about plans for a second take-away at Hanchet End look likely to be disappointed by councillors tomorrow.
St Edmundsbury Borough Council development control committee has been recommended to approve plans for a second hot food take-away at Apple Acre Road, next to Dominos Pizza.
Nearby residents and Haverhill Town Council had both objected to the plan on the grounds of the extra traffic noise and disturbance, litter and smells it would generate.
But councillors will be told at tommorrow's meeting of the committee that conditions would be placed on the development to ensure there was no nuisance from smells or the noise of extractors.
The unit is one of three which were built as part of a development which included a care home.
The original plans were that they would be take-aways, but the use of all three was restricted to ordinary retail only, after protests from neighbours.
But the change of one to become Dominos was allowed, and now councillors are being told there has still been no market interest in the units as shops.
However, there has been interest from take-aways, and planners say this would cause no more noise and disturbance than a convenience shop for which there is already permission.
