The Old Bank site (for those who don't know) currently has restaurant status... It has never been approved as a takeaway!! It was a nice sit down restaurant, sadly for various reasons the business failed. A large takeaway / delivery hub where people order on line or over the phone would not attract any new people to visit the parade in the evening, enticing people to use the other great businesses we have in HOP. The vast majority of people would prefer a sit down restaurant, this would be more suited to the building too. The numbers of local people objecting already for various reasons are speaking from themselves. If you feel so strongly about it there is nothing stopping you from sending a letter of approval.
