PLANS to convert a cafe into a takeaway have been turned down by the council.
An application for work to take place on Agnes Road in Kingstone was originally submitted to the council in January.
These plans were rejected by the planning board earlier this week.
A report states: “During the application process, a number of concerns were raised regarding additional parking and congestion on Agnes Road from customers and delivery drivers, which is already heavily congested with limited parking availability. Increased stopping and waiting would cause obstructions, increase frustration, and lead to illegal parking on pavements and residential driveways, with the increased frequency of vehicle movements likely to pose a risk to the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other road users, particularly in the evenings when visibility is lower.”
