Plans to turn the site formerly occupied by Kowalski Jewellers into a takeaway have been submitted to North West Leicestershire District Council.

The shop on Ashby Road in Coalville was closed permanently due to the owners' retirement in September.

Now, Mr M. Tunc has applied for a proposed change of use from shop to hot food takeaway and residential unit.

He gives his address as 3, Ashby Road, the property next door to what was Kowalski Jewellers.

A notice giving details of the proposal, and how the public can view the plans, was placed outside the property on Thursday.
