Plans to transform an empty Coventry shop into a takeaway have been lodged. It would be based on Longford Road.

203 Longford Road could be converted into a hot food takeaway if approved by Coventry City Council. It has sat empty for some time, with the plans for the building set to bring 'vibrancy and vitality' to Longford Square.

Documents show the proposed new takeaway would open from 10am to 10pm, Monday to Sunday. It would be located next to Stone Pizza and Potbelly.

If planning permission is granted, the new city takeaway would create three jobs. One would be a full-time position, and the other two would be part-time roles, according to Coventry City Council.

Permission has also been requested to install an extraction system at the rear of the building. Applicant Mr Ranjit Sagoo said the proposed takeaway 'would not result in a concentration of hot food takeaways' in Longford.

Agent Loveitts said the building will be rented for £7,800 a year if the takeaway bid is approved by Coventry City Council. Plans will be debated in August.
