Plans have been submitted to turn a retail unit into a hot food takeaway in Colne.

Pendle Council received the application last month, with the proposed takeaway to be located on Albert Road at a former shoe shop.

The site is located within the town centre, with plans stating 'no external alterations are proposed as part of the development'.

The applicants, Mr and Mrs Hall, propose to change the back of the property from a store into a kitchen if successful.

The site is within an existing row of commercial properties, which includes another hot food takeaway at number 33, with the proposed takeaway to be located at number 27, if successful.

A heritage report was conducted by the council to ensure the surrounding development would not be affected by the proposed plans, as it lies within a Conservation Area.

It said: "In light of the factors outlined within this statement, it is considered that the development will result in no harm to the significance, character or setting of the Albert Road Conservation Area."

Conservation areas exist to manage and protect the special architectural and historic interest of a place, such as the features that make it unique.

Neighbours around the Albert Road area have been notified to input their opinion on the proposed plan.

Parish Consultation, Architectural Liason Unit, Environmental Services, and LCC Highway have all been consulted, with one response since Tuesday, June 18.

Lancashire County Council, acting as the local highway authority, did not raise an objection regarding the proposed development, and concluded that there are 'no highway grounds to support an objection'.

There is a limited waiting parking restriction outside the row on Albert Road, with the proposed opening hours of the takeaway are Monday to Saturday, 7am to 3pm.

Lancashire County Council's response said: "Customers to the proposed takeaway are likely to be short stay with a frequent turnover of parked vehicles.

"The highway authority therefore considers that the proposed development is unlikely to have a significant impact on highway safety or capacity in the immediate vicinity of the site."

The application status is currently pending consideration.

  • Bolivian army chief arrested after coup attempt

    Bolivia's army chief was arrested Wednesday after sending soldiers and tanks to take up position in front of government buildings in what President Luis Arce called an attempted "coup d'etat".The troops and tanks entered Plaza Murillo, a historic square where the presidency and Congress are situated, in the afternoon, prompting global condemnation of an attack on democracy.One of the tanks tried to break down a metal door of the presidential palace.Surrounded by soldiers and eight tanks, the now-dismissed army chief General Juan Jose Zuniga said the "armed forces intend to restructure democracy, to make it a true democracy and not one run by the same few people for 30, 40 years."Shortly thereafter, AFP reporters saw soldiers and tanks pulling back from the square.Later Wednesday, Zuniga was captured and forced into a police car as he addressed reporters outside a military barracks, footage on state television showed.&nbsp;"General, you are under arrest," Deputy Interior Minister Jhonny Aguilera told Zuniga."No one can take away the democracy we have won," Arce said from a balcony of the government palace in front of hundreds of supporters.Earlier he had urged "the Bolivian people to organize and mobilize against the coup d'etat in favor of democracy," in a televised message to the country alongside his ministers inside the presidential palace.&nbsp;He also swore in new military leaders, firing Zuniga.Former president Evo Morales wrote on X that "a coup d'etat is brewing" and also urged a "national mobilization to defend democracy."- Zuniga's anti-democratic remarks -Bolivia is deeply polarized after years of political instability and the ruling Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) is riven by internal conflict between supporters of Arce and his former mentor Morales.Morales, who was Bolivia's first Indigenous president, was extremely popular until he tried to bypass the constitution and seek a fourth term in office in 2019.&nbsp;The leftist and former coca union leader won that vote but was forced to resign amid deadly protests over alleged election fraud, and fled the country.&nbsp;He returned after Arce won the presidency in October 2020.Since then a power struggle has grown between the two men, and Morales has increasingly criticized the government and accused it of corruption, tolerating drug trafficking, and sidelining him politically.Six months ago, the Constitutional Court disqualified Morales from the 2025 elections, however he is still seeking nomination as the MAS candidate.Arce has not said whether he will seek re-election.Zuniga appeared on television on Monday and said he would arrest Morales if he insisted on running for office again in 2025."Legally he is disqualified, that man cannot be president of this country again," he said.Since that interview, rumors have swirled that Zuniga was on the verge of being dismissed.- Calls for calm -The US administration of Joe Biden said it was keeping a close eye on events in Bolivia and "calls for calm," according to a spokesperson for the National Security Council.Condemnations of the troop movements also poured in from across Latin America, with leaders of Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela calling for democracy to be respected.&nbsp;Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva wrote on X: "I am a lover of democracy and I want it to prevail throughout Latin America.
