The unit at 77 Upper St John Street has been empty since the William Hill shop closed.

But the site is now set to become the home to a new takeaway after the plans were approved by Lichfield District Council.

Full details of the proposals are available [on Lichfield District Council’s planning website](https://planning.lichfielddc.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=QSW6V1JEKS800&ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
