A new restaurant is planned for the centre of a Nottinghamshire town.

Plans have been approved to convert an empty office and apartments in Beeston.

The building in Stoney Street, at the junction with High Road, will be extended and transformed into a restaurant with six studio flats above.

In the application to Broxtowe Borough Council, documents say the eatery will be a more appropriate use of a town centre building reports the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

Without permission, the restaurant - which has not been named in the application - will not be allowed to operate earlier than 07:00 or later than 23:00.

The applicant now has three years to commence the work.
