00:00The former Pizza Hut takeaway on Fishponds Road in Fishponds opposite the Lidl supermarket
00:09could be replaced with a restaurant and pub area. The plans include a seating area, office
00:17and a small kitchen, but it's unclear from the planning documents what sort of bar would
00:21open on the premises. But many locals have been objecting to the plans, citing that there
00:28are too many eateries and bars within the Fishponds area. The application also includes
00:36an extension which would not be seen by locals on the street, so is judged to have no impact
00:43onto the main high street of Fishponds. A date is yet to be set for when the planning
00:50applications could go through, but they can be viewed in the meantime on the planning
00:56portal on Bristol's City Council website.
