New fish and chip shop planned for Stratford

AN empty building on Bridge Street in Stratford could be brought back into use as a fish and chip shop and B&B.

The former Edinburgh Woollen Mill store is being taken over by The Chip Shed, a fish and chip chain that already has an outlet in Warwick and a further two in the Cotswolds.

The Grade II-listed building has been empty for a few years and is in need of some TLC.

The Chip Shed plans to have an eat-in restaurant and takeaway on the ground floor, while the upper two floors would be converted into six B&B bedrooms with en suites (three on each floor).

Stratford District Council has until 27th April to make a decision on the planning application.
