Restaurant could replace bookies shop on prominent prominent Sheffield city centre street
Plans submitted by top chef and restaurant owner
A restaurant could take over a high profile Sheffield city centre location once occupied by a well known bookies.
William Hill had been operating from the shop on West Street which is next to the Dominoes pizza shop for many years until its recent closure.
Now, plans have been drawn up which would mean the long standing betting shop could be replaced with a restaurant or cafe, but still leaves options open for other commercial uses.
Sizar Al-Andari, the executive chef and owner of the popular Mount Lebanon restaurant, has now been given planning permission to potentially change the site into a restaurant or cafe.
The bookies shop occupied a site underneath Mount Lebanon, and plans which have been drawn up for the building would allow for it to be transformed into a dining venue.

Mr Al-Andari has been approached for more details of the plans.
The new planning permission means that the site can be used for commercial, business and service purposes, which covers shops, restaurants, professional services, and offices
