A Mrs S. Zafar submitted plans an application to the City of Edinburgh Council's planning department for a change of use from class 1 shop to form class 3 restaurant/ takeaway, at the former Polish grocery shop at 249 - 251 Leith Walk. The plans show a dining area, kitchen, serving area and toilets. There would also be a new sealed ceiling over the entire premises, with a ceramic tile floor in the kitchen. A rear elevation will see the addition of a slimline 350mm metal flue that terminate at two metres, minimum, above any roof openings, painted to match the stonework. An extract duct and a SystemAir HP silencer will be secured to the ceiling and rear wall with anti-vibration mountings.
