Plans are in to open another Domino’s Pizza outlet in York.
The chain wants to operate in Haxby, planning documents reveal.
It would be the fourth branch to open in York.
The location is the Haxby Fortune Inn Chinese Restaurant, in Ryedale Court, The Village, Haxby. It has been trading at the site since at least 2009.
Domino’s wants permission and advertisement consent from City of York Council for internal and external changes to the property.
“The proposed development will comprise the installation of new signage, extraction and ventilation equipment and minor external alterations,” planning documents state.
“The existing shopfront will be retained and repaired/repainted and the other changes will be located at the rear of the building, where they would be seen in the context of commercial ‘back of house’ areas.”
They go on: “The principle of installing illuminated signage is appropriate by virtue of the new operator, Domino’s, being primarily reliant on the evening economy with their peak trading hours being 6pm to 8pm, which is regularly after dark.”
The building is in the Haxby Conservation Area. Documents say that the proposed changes “not anticipated to negatively impact upon the architectural or historical significance of Haxby Conservation Area as a whole”.
Domino’s already operate in Acomb, Hull Road and Clifton Moor.
