A CAERNARFON pizzeria claims to have lost 30% of its business following a move within the town centre amid restrictions over its opening times.

Bella Pizza recently moved the short distance from Bridge Street to Hole in the Wall Street in the centre of the historic town.

The new location saw planning conditions attached to the business' operations, and a reduction in how long it could stay open which the business says has caused it “huge losses”.

Retrospective change-of-use permission for the new takeaway was granted in July last year. Conditions placed on the permission meant limits to when the takeaway could operate.

It stated that the premises could not be open to the public outside of the hours of 8am and 11pm, unless a Temporary Events Notice was in place allowing an extension.

Applicant Rebecca Owen has now requested Cyngor Gwynedd planners amend the planning consent.
