Search the Public Notice PortalA wholefoods seller will open a takeaway in a Failsworth industrial estate under newly approved plans.
Unit 8 of the Morton Street industrial estate will be turned into the new venue by Worldwide Catering Ltd.
The application gained permission for changing the site from a storage and distribution use to a hot food takeaway, and also installing a kitchen extract system.
Worldwide Catering Ltd is already operating as a wholefoods seller based in elsewhere in Failsworth.
The company says on its website: “Welcome to Worldwide Catering, leading food wholesale supplier of fresh fruit and vegetables plus associated sundries to the hospitality trade and catering establishments by choice.”
"We are your one-stop destination for a wide range of premium wholesale food and non-food products, carefully sourced and delivered to meet your business needs."
The takeaway will open in a single-storey unit within a terrace of six units.
Plans state that the unit has a pedestrian entrance from Morton Street, a roller shutter door, and another doorway facing the service yard.
The proposal details that the kitchen extract system will be kept within the building, with the flue ducting running above the roof for proper ventilation.

A planning officer outlined how policies must support uses for sites currently in employment use, such as hot food takeaways, as long as the change does not impact areas like residential amenity, local health, or highway safety.
According to the planning report, the site does not sit near a school or a place where children gather, and there are no records of anti-social behaviour in the area.
Environmental Health and Highways raised no objection to the application.
As part of the approval, the council has set out conditions, including limiting customer opening hours to 8am to 12am every day, including Bank Holidays.
The planning decision was issued on Wednesday (April 15).
