Plans for pizza restaurant and takeaway in Kirton submitted

Plans to transform a vacant industrial unit into a fast food outlet have been served up.

Applicant Jonathan Pedley hopes to operate a pizza restaurant and takeaway from a vacant unit on Kirton’s Avalon Business Park – creating up to 25 jobs.

Plans submitted to Boston Borough Council are for three tables and seating for up to 10 people, plus a service counter, office, store, cold room, toilets and washing up area.

The unit will also come with four parking spaces and a loading bay.

“It is intended that the application site will be occupied as a pizza takeaway,” papers submitted by agent Pegasus Group say.

The design and access statement added: “The conversion will provide a 130 m2 takeaway which will be arranged with a customer waiting/seating area at the front of the premises with kitchen occupying the central part of the unit.

“A cold room and staff welfare facilities will be provided at the rear of the site.

“A new shopfront is to be installed which will include the existing shuttered opening being in-filled and clad to match the rest of the building, above an aluminium glazed shopfront window.

“A new shopfront and entrance door will also be provided to the left-hand side of the shopfront (when viewed from the north).”

The takeaway is proposed to open from 11am to 11pm seven days a week.

The design and access statement added the proposal would bring employment opportunities.

“A pizza takeaway of the size proposed will generate approximately 25 part-time and full-time positions at the site,” it added.

Other sites in Kirton had been looked at by the applicant, including the former Peacock pub, the former Fire Station and Congregational Church, land to the rear of Upsall Court, the Codfather chip shop site and 11-13 High Street.

However, the Avalon Business Park site was the preferred option.
