Padiham takeaway plans approved despite protests

A PLANNING inspector has over-ruled councillors and allowed a corner shop to be converted into an Italian takeaway in Padiham.

Councillors had initially rejected Samir Hergli’s proposals for the vacant stores at the top end of Byron Street because they felt there was not enough off-street parking.

And the borough’s development control committee, turning it down last November, was worried that there would not be enough room for cars to negotiate the narrow street.

But planning inspector J Stuart Nixon said that, during a visit, existing parking bays there were ‘not well-used’ and there were plenty of on-street spaces.

Samir Hergli - there's a good old Italian name. Must be related to that well known Turk Valentino Rossi...

Stop narrowing the road from Padiham to Burnley, it's a nightmare, was supposed to be for safety reasons, you have to pull out into oncomming traffic to see whats comming down the road, LCC muppets who employs the people to make the changes to our roads, ad as for the cycle lane??? I've seen one cyclist use it in as many yrs.

It seems as though Padihams planning officer is related to Pendle's when it comes to approving Take-aways.

Again the council not listening to the residents of this area.
This (launderette) takeaway is not needed or wanted.
