Smoque Burger plans new hot food takeaway in Worthing

A new takeaway is planned in Broadwater, offering quality burgers and hand-cut fries.

Permission is sought to change the use of a former café to hot food takeaway, including a new extract flue, new side door to north, awning to the west-facing front and other associated alterations.

The property at 70 Broadwater Street West was part of Opulence & Grace wedding shop before being changed to a café in November 2019. Class E use was granted six years ago but this no longer includes hot food takeaways, due to a change in the rules in September 2020.

In the planning, design and access statement provided by Lewis & Co on behalf of Peyman Jame, it states: "There is only one other takeaway in the immediate parade, which has a different food offering to that proposed.

"The physical alterations required to the building are of a minor scale and are not visible from the street scene. Design care has been taken to ensure even distant views of the extract are screened."

Sepand Sarmadi, director of Smoque Grill Limited, has also applied to Worthing Borough Council for advertisement consent for an externally-illuminated fascia sign and projecting sign.

The designs show the name Smoque Burger. The proposals include 15 covers within the business and a serving counter for takeaway collections. The business is likely to be open from midday until 10pm.
