Late-night takeaway plan for Burnley listed building

Late-night takeaway plan for Burnley listed building

PLANS have been submitted to convert part of a town centre listed building into a late night takeaway.

Councillors will today discuss the proposals to change the current Second Sight Opticians on Keirby Walk, Burnley into a fast food outlet, permitted to open from 11am-2am, seven days a week.

The change of use has been recommended for approval by planners but objections have been raised from other businesses on Keirby Walk.

Issues brought to Burnley Council’s attention during a consultation include claims that parking is already stretched, possible anti-social behaviour problems, littering and the lack of security and
CCTV in the area.

The application site is the ground floor a former pub and in a later guise, the Zanzibar nightclub, which is also currently occupied by a financial services business and a tea rooms.

In a report to councillors planners said that a late night takeaway on the premises was acceptable to ensure such a high profile building remained fully occupied.

The report said: “Refusal of the application may lead to a prominent listed building becoming vacant which would have a negative impact.

“In the absence of any demonstrable harm, the proposal is acceptable.

“It is unlikely that it would have an adverse impact on the town centre as a whole.”

Second Sight Opticians is still currently trading at the premises.

When contacted yesterday a spokesman for the firm said that the business would continue at another location. They declined to comment further.

The proposal will be discussed by Burnley Council’s development control committee this evening.

There just aren’t enough kebab and pizza take aways.
I have to walk a full 30metres from my house and then there’s only two.
Come on councils – lets get more streets full of kebab shops!

Well if kebab shops, Curry houses and chinese takeouts are making a do in this resession then why not.
If it employs people makes profit they then spend at the suppliers and they are employed. It might not be like a new steel works but it creates jobs.
Good look to them.

At what point do ANY councils in this country give a **** about health issues before granting these licences? why is it that in this country any company that deals within the food and drinks industry have to adhere to very strict guidelines in order to operate and conduct business, for instance if you go into a meat processing plant for dog food a hairnet is compulsary as is a snood if you have a beard along with a white smock, safety shoes, no jewelry is allowed except a plain wedding band, not even a wristwatch is allowed, any product containing nuts has to be kept separate, gloves have to be worn in-between handling food and cash etc, ect, yet none of these rules apply to these kebab / curry shops……why is that then?
Is it not more likely that your food will be contaminated at the final prep stage due to none of these rules being enforced by the very same councils that grant these licences?
Do health and safety issues only apply to one half of our cosmopolitan community?
Please can someone from the enviromental health dept comment on this or have you been told otherwise?

These establishments are not opened to make profit they are to clean dirty money.
I have a good friend who is an accountant he told me that over 90% of these takeaway,s do not pay tax because they do not meet the taxable limits that its obvious why these businesses
have been set up.
They employ family on very small wages but with enough hours to qualify for benefit,s ie housing council tax working tax credit so on. Taking thousands out of the economy but putting nothing in.

I’ll gladly comment on your post.

Packed food prepared by companies intended for sale by food outlets, i.e. supermarkets, have to follow strict food manfacturing guidelines as pointed out in your post, and assessed every 12 months under the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP).
In case of hot meal outlets, guidelines are far relaxed yet hygiene rules apply the same. Food heated destroys bacteria to a certain extent, but enough for consumption. At all times all food organisations should follow safety aspects and show competance. Most laws are simply recommendations, and failure to comply not neccessarily leading to prosecution. In the event any issue arises and customer complains are raised, then there is a chance of a formal warning which may lead to prosecution.

and may i add at a significant cost!
‘Is there any stipulation put on the granting of a licence for fast food shops at all ?
Makes you wonder who is frightened of who, hopefully someone in the role of granting licences will reply…..shall i hold my breath?

Why the heck are we allowing fast food takeaways to open? Obesity is rife as it is – why couldnt they open a mini gym there so it’s being put to healthy use – Im working to earn a living and my tax money is being taken off me to pay for these fat jabbers to have lipo!

What a refreshing answer you have given, however how do we make it go further in order to protect the very customer it servers and relies upon?
at what point are the local authority able to stipulate that the H+S act 1974 will must be adherered to and they will be visable to all and sundry.

Four years ago, enviromental health officers frequently visited all hot-food takeaway outlets imposing strict hygiene rules, and clean up notices were issued, reported in this very paper, prosecuted many for failure to comply food hygiene laws. As for the cut backs the councils health department’s regular visit then became limited, and instead all food organisations were made to not only adhere to HACCP, but also to maintain a schedule showing cleaning procedures and primary food purchase records. Points on doors shows these outlets and the progress.
Well you may well ask, what’s happened. The answer, these outlets were visited not between 9-5, but between 6-12, in the evenings!!!

So would all parties agree that not only are these establishments operating slightly within the law (just like jimmy carr) but yet is agreed that they are failing the system and it’s the best man that wins at the end of the day……if a prosecution was brought to trial? because if that is the case i need to restructure my business in order to make a living not only for me but also the rest of my family?

I would not call it “low level” fraud when you consider how many are doing it.Its not just takeaways its corner shops taxi firms restaurant’s market traders all manor of family owned businesses.
The amount of tax avoided the payout of benefits is phenomenal.

The amount of bile towards ethnics astounds me. Tax avoidance isnt just the domain of asian SME’s and the amount the council waste each year and the way projects are managed would make your eyes water. spend your 3m or you dont get it next year? Guess what, we just happen to need new laptops and ipads for everyone so they can work from home..

Kebab shop crime? You’d soon complain if the prices went up and you’d be shocked on the margins some operate. THREE 12″ pizzas for a tenner inc delivery round my end.. how they make anything on that is anyones guess.

Infact if they could get away with it they would sell you six bogey topped pizzas for a tenner as long as there is a small turn over. I get the point about the laundring but they are not the ones you need to worry about.

I’ll gladly comment on your post. Packed food prepared by companies intended for sale by food outlets, i.e. supermarkets, have to follow strict food manfacturing guidelines as pointed out in your post, and assessed every 12 months under the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). In case of hot meal outlets, guidelines are far relaxed yet hygiene rules apply the same. Food heated destroys bacteria to a certain extent, but enough for consumption. At all times all food organisations should follow safety aspects and show competance. Most laws are simply recommendations, and failure to comply not neccessarily leading to prosecution. In the event any issue arises and customer complains are raised, then there is a chance of a formal warning which may lead to prosecution.

Oh great thats just what we need, someone who actually knows the answer and undermines the opportunity to get a few racist digs in!

First of all, many of these Councils Pendle included, that seem set on filling our towns with fast food shops, also waste thousands of pounds of taxpayers money on wait for it…………HEALTH
Y EATING campaigns!
Secondly, a recent newspaper report said that when Food Inspectors checked out Kebab and Curry shops in Warwickshire, the Lamb kebabs contained Beef, Pork and Chicken!! And also that Lamb curries had chicken as well.
I checked with Lancashire County Council’s Food Inspectors and they said that they had also found this. Howver, because of the ever increasing number of these places, it often takes longer than a year between visits.

Politics is nothing new, history is repeating itself and will continue as ‘dictators’ change and we all are at the forefront. These are the early stages, watch out for the yaggog maggog, and daljal. There’s no escape, but god fearing.

So that’s it folks it would appear that you can open a shop selling ready made food whilst having filthy fingernails, dealing with cash and no gloves, no socks or shoes on so you can clip your toe nails when the shops quiet, long hair and beard falling in your kebab, hands that have been handling raw meat and then your pitta bread and people wonder why they are ill the next day…perhaps it’s not the beer!
