The operators of a new Nando’s restaurant in Hove are hoping to be allowed Saturday afternoon deliveries despite residents’ protests.
Developers behind the new diner at the Goldstone Retail Park in Old Shoreham Road are looking to amend a previous application, so that deliveries can be made on Saturdays between 8am and 6pm.
Current permission only allows Saturday deliveries between 9am and noon.
Eighteen residents have signed a petition against the increased delivery times, claiming the move would increase noise disturbance at the site, while they are also unhappy about the smell of cooking.
Goldstone Valley Residents Association and local councillors Vanessa Brown and Jayne Bennett have also raised objections.
Other proposed changes include landscaping around the restaurant.
Brighton and Hove City Council’s planning committee will decide on the issue tomorrow and officers have recommended that they allow the changes, stating they “would not have an unduly harmful impact” on residents and on the area.
