Plans have been submitted to transform a former city shop into a takeaway.

The former Rasa Plus convenience store in Dereham Road could become a kebab shop if the scheme is approved. 

The applicant, Makwan Nader, says if his proposal would “add to the mix” of takeaways and restaurants already on Dereham Road.

As the shop is near a large Co-op Daily and down the road from a Tesco Express, Mr Nader says that its current use as a grocery store is redundant.

Norwich City Council will aim to make a decision on the plans by November 21.
