KFC given green light to become one of latest opening takeaways in Sheffield on West Street
KFC has been give to go ahead to become one of the latest opening takeaways in Sheffield.
Sheffield Council has agreed planning permission which will allow the company’s West Street outlet to open until 4am in the future.
But they have told that they must keep the noise down and will not be allowed to play any music or have any loudspeakers on. and they must also do some soundproofing to make sure they don’t disturb anyone living in the flats complex above the shop.
And they’ll not be allowed to do any deliveries after 11pm.
Granting planning permission for the extension until 4am, a council reported stated opening until 4am would not be appropriate for all venues on West Street, and the impact on people who lived there was paramount.
But they said the KFC shop had a larger internal seating area which meant that customers could ‘eat in’ rather than be forced out of the building to congregate on the street as may occur in other smaller takeaway units, which is what they thought most likely to disturb the neighbours.
They added: “The use of noise mitigation measures can be used to control the sound intrusion internally.”
