Takeaway shelter plan for Rumbles fish and chip shop in Badwell Ash, between Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket
A takeaway shelter at a village fish and chip shop between Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket could be retained if new plans are approved.
Rumbles Fish Bar, in The Street, Badwell Ash, has asked Mid Suffolk District Council for permission to retain a roof structure which provides shelter for takeaway order customers.
Construction of the wooden canopy, to the front of the outlet, was finished in October.
A supporting statement submitted to planners said: “The structure, already constructed, has been designed and built to complement the existing shop in both appearance and functionality while ensuring minimal visual and environmental impact on the surrounding area. The site is not a listed property nor does it lie within a conservation area.
“The installation of the canopy addresses a practical need for customers to have a comfortable and sheltered space while waiting for their takeaway orders, particularly during adverse weather conditions.
“Rumbles Fish Bar is a popular establishment within the village and the canopy enhances the customer experience by improving the usability of the site as it is takeaway only.”
The council’s planning enforcement team has a live case at the address.
