York council approves pizza takeaway conversion to café
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 13:10 · Archive
City of York Council has approved plans to convert Pizza Base takeaway on Beckfield Lane in Acomb into the Beckfield Café. The applicant Ibrahim Kayran's proposal would see the ground floor of 147 Beckfield Lane transformed to house a café open from 8am to 5pm daily, replacing the takeaway's current 3.30pm to 11pm hours.
The café will feature a customer seating area, serving counter and back-of-house facilities including a food preparation area. Council planning officials found there would be no adverse effects on local amenities and the new café would not have a detrimental effect on neighbouring homes.
The application stated that 'the principal design approach is to adapt the existing premises for café use without unnecessary changes to the building's scale or form'. The proposal allows the building to continue to be used for commercial purposes through reuse and adaptation of the existing premises.
