Planning permission has been granted by Norwich City Council for a new eatery in 46 London Street.

The business will occupy the ground floor of the building which already has Siam Hair Design on the first floor and is next to Costa Coffee.

The application has been made by Mr A Chen who lives in Brandon and will serve fried chicken and bubble tea.

Mr Chen applied to change the use from financial services to cafe/restaurant back in August and it was approved on October 18.

Conditions of the application state it cannot open between 11pm and 7am on any day as it is outside the Late Night Activity Zone in the city.
