From a new McDonald's to plans for a Lidl supermarket being blocked, here are five public notices to be aware of in Norfolk this week.
A McDonald's drive-thru is heading to Fakenham (Image: PA) An application for a new drive-thru restaurant in Fakenham was first given the green light in March.
However, it was brought back before North Norfolk District Council's planning committee after complaints it had failed to follow correct procedures.
While the proposals had been debated by councillors, according to planning rules, the proximity of the site to several schools had not been appropriately considered by council officials.
Despite being revisited, the application was approved for a second time this week.
The former Harte of India takeaway in Costessey has fallen into "considerable disrepair" (Image: Google Maps) The application lodged with South Norfolk Council seeks permission to knock down the old Harte of India behind the Harte pub in Costessey.
There have been previous attempts to demolish the building, which was originally a function room for the pub, to create more car parking spaces or a new seating area.
However, these plans were thrown out amid confusion over the connection between the pub and the old takeaway building.
The bid to demolish the building has re-emerged after the council confirmed the takeaway was not lawfully associated with the Harte pub and operated independently.
If the new application is approved, demolition works are expected to start this time next year and take a month to complete.
Plans for a new Lidl in Bowthorpe have been rejected (Image: Adrian Judd) Norwich City Council threw out the proposals for the new supermarket inn Barnard Road, Bowthorpe, at the site currently used by Namco Funscape bowling alley.
The company hoped to demolish the existing building to make way for a new branch but the plans were met with backlash from retailers including Aldi, Waitrose and Roys of Bowthorpe.
Councillors voted to block the application at a meeting amid concerns about the impact of the development on Roys, the well-known Norfolk brand founded 130 years ago.
The company objected to the application and said the impact of the supermarket on its trading had been "significantly underestimated".
While council officials argued the development would only result in a "small reduction" in the number of customers visiting Roys, the possibility of the store closing was a key concern among councillors.
