New Burger King proposed

[Marty___Mcfly]

I'm surprised that not many people have picked up on the new Burger King which is proposed next door to Buddies on the seafront? Planning applications are in at the moment.

The last proposal at the bottom of East Street resulted in petitions, Caroline Lucas objecting etc - it was a huge hoo-ha.

Has this new proposal gone under the radar?

I imagine Buddies will be livid as BK want to open 7am-6am so will take loads of Buddies late night trade.. and the chippie on the other side.

Long thread on it a couple of weeks ago, I think

It hasn't gone unnoticed...

"next door to Buddies" suggests its different to the one a bottom of East Street?

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Yes. This is a new proposal. next to buddies. not the pub which was previously proposed. IT would replace a restaurant and a cafe.

Looks like no one has objected to the new planning application- I'm surprised- a few months ago it seemed like lots of people were dead against a burger king on the seafront. Where have they all gone?!

I don't really see the big deal. People who want that junk will invariably get it from somewhere in town, so what difference does it make if its on the seafront ?

If it replaces a restaurant and cafe it wouldn't need planning permission, would it?

Yes because they want to run a restaurant / takeaway- the takeaway element needs permission.

A couple of artciles popped up on the Guardian today about takeaways

I guess the more places selling unhealthy food there are around, the more gets eaten.
