The former TIC buildingPosted by Ernest Dave H asked what was going to happen next door to Ladbrokes. (See Ladbrokes thread) Planning permission for a change of use to a restaurant / takeaway plus 4 apartments was granted to Halifax Property Restoration Limited in March 2004. I assume that this means there is no planning obstacle to Macdonald's, Harry Ramsden's, or indeed the George Galloway Organic Tree House Cafe (and Takeaway) from acquiring the building and opening up for business. Posted by Dave H As they have had three large deep fat fish fryers delivered, I know where my money is. Posted by Oscar I'll offer 3/1 against Harry Ramsdens I'll offer 2/1 on an "independent" Chippy as the HBBA banners still fly high over the building. If you want better odds, then look next door. Posted by Dave H If you're right, and it's an independent, I'll be so pleased I'll buy you a bag of chips, WITH scraps! Posted by Helen Apartments and a chippy? Imagine the smell if you lived above a chip shop. Posted by Rev Tony Buglass Imagine the smell? Yummmmmmm.... There is no other smell so guaranteed to make you instantly hungry, whatever you've just eaten! Posted by Miv It's a chippy - there is a planning application in for illuminated signs in the window for AJ's Fish and Chips (See also planning watch) Posted by Lisa Smith Do we need another chip shop? I'd heard the White Lion Fisheries was closing down or is this just a nasty rumour? Posted by Jack Hughes Would this be the same AJ's as the kebab emporium near Ashenhurst in Todmorden? Posted by Andy Macintosh I agree, not another chip shop. We need a decent restaurant in a town over-populated by, at best, mediocre ones. Posted by Duncan Watson Clearly we don't need another chip-shop, similarly we don't need any chip-shops at all. However it might be useful to have another that operates during the lacunae left by the somewhat esoteric opening times of the two other chip-shops. Posted by Jim I'm not sure that we need another chip shop either, and I would have definitely preferred it to be decent restaurant. However, what concerns me the most are the terrible illuminated signs that are proposed in the planning application. Looks like we might be getting a little bit of Blackpool chic in Hebden. This could make Ladbrokes look tastefull!!!! Posted by Miv How anyone can complain about distasteful signage etc on this street, whilst not mentioning the appalling colour of the cobbles that are been laid! I was in a cafe over the weekend and was amazed at how many people stopped and stared, pointed and even laughed at the blue and yellow brick road! Posted by Jim Yes I saw those yesterday... shocking! I couldn't quite understand why they have laid occasional strips of nice reclaimed cobbles within the candy colured granite ones. The thing is Miv, people can object to the planning application for the signs if they choose to.... its a bit late for the cobbles as they are nearly all down now. Posted by Andy Macintosh So goodbye yellow (and blue) brick road etc Rather nice granite sets I thought.
