Plans to convert an Accrington jewellers shop in Blackburn Road into a hot food takeaway have been approved by Hyndburn Council.
Local businesses had complained that there are already eight catering establishments on that stretch of the street, including a take-away immediately on one side and a cafe on the other.
But despite that the plans, for the building near the junction with School Street, were given the go-ahead at a meeting of Hyndburn's planning panel.
