The takeaway will, if approved, sit within a vacant unit on Wellmeadow Street

A bid for planning permission - submitted by MJK Architects on behalf of an applicant - for the spot in Wellmeadow Street has been approved, subject to conditions.

The ground floor commercial space is expected to feature a sit-in area and counter at the front and kitchen, preparation and washing up area at the back.

A report of handling by the chief planning officer explained: “Planning permission is sought for the change of use of a vacant retail unit to a hot food takeaway with internal seating area at Wellmeadow Street, Paisley, together with the erection of an external flue.
