Plans have been submitted to convert a former Chinese takeaway in Crewe into a new convenience store with upper floor flats.

This July, applicant, Mr H Mazi, applied for a change of use to a convenience shop at ground floor level at 67 Earle Street, formerly occupied by The Supercook.

The applicant also applied for full planning for a two-storey rear extension, with two residential units above the proposed shop at the old Chinese chippy.

In November, Mr Mazi resubmitted the Earle Street plans showing a clear explanation of his intentions, which had originally appeared blurred.

Residents can submit comments on the Earle Street application until Friday 19 December (Photo: Ryan Parker).

For the new ground floor shop, a staff room is proposed, alongside a toilet.

One of the upstairs flats would be two-bedroom, with a living room, kitchen and bathroom. The other would consist of one-bedroom, comprising a living room, kitchen and wet room.

The Supercook building has been vacant since the COVID-19 pandemic five years ago, when the business closed suddenly.

It is proposed there will be two convenience store parking spaces to the rear, adjacent to bin storage and a yard.

The last date for submitting comments is now Friday 19 December, with a target decision date of Friday 2 January.
