A FISH and chip shop in Lichfield has been refused permission to change its opening hours.
Fish Face, at Willow Court on Tamworth Road, had wanted to vary an existing planning condition to allow it to open on Sundays and Bank Holidays between 4pm and 9pm.
But Lichfield District Council has refused to grant permission.
A decision notice said:
“The proposed extension of opening hours on Sundays and Bank Holidays would result in an unacceptable impact on the residential amenity of nearby occupiers through increased noise, disturbance, and odour at times currently protected by existing planning controls.
“The applicant has not provided sufficient technical evidence within the statutory consultation period to demonstrate that such impacts could be effectively mitigated.”
Full details can be seen on Lichfield District Council’s planning website.
