Plan unveiled to convert former North End takeaway into flats
Plans have been unveiled to convert a former North End takeaway into two flats.
A planning application has been submitted to convert the ground floor Shalimar takeaway in London Road into two self-contained flats, including construction of single storey rear extension.
The application says: “The Shalimar takeaway has been established for approximately 20 years and quickly became a successful business, employing three staff. Following a change in eating habits and the growth of a wide variety of cuisine and delivery options across the city, trade steadily declined, and staff numbers reduced.
“Post pandemic steeply rising costs have exacerbated an intractable problem, and a point has been reached where the business is no longer viable.”
