Plans been been put forward to to convert an old Crewe Chinese takeaway back into a flat, over a decade after it closed.

Applicant, Mr Nawzad, has submitted prior approval for a change of use of Happy Days Chinese and Thai Takeaway, Flag Lane, to dwelling house use only.

Happy Days, located next to the Wistaston Road crossroads, was a popular eatery with locals until its closure in the mid 2010s.

Formerly a chip shop from the 1950s, the Crewe West building has a long history of being used as an eatery.

On a Crewe Nub News social media post, local residents looked back on the old takeaway.

One reader said: "Their gravy was amazing. Always a warm welcome from Lisa." Another said: "Always went there after the swimming baths [Flag Lane] for tea."

The applicant proposes to install a new kitchen, living room, dining area and lobby on the ground floor. A yard area and bin storage is to the rear.

For the first floor, there will be two bedrooms, an office and bathroom.
