New kebab shop planned in Somerset village – and could open until 10pm every day

PLANS for a new kebab shop in a Somerset village have been submitted.

The scheme would see a vacant unit at an industrial site in Martock converted into a takeaway and delivery food outlet.

Plans submitted to Somerset Council by Seyma Sen of Sen Kebaba Ltd, would see Unit 14 at Unwin House, off The Horseshoe, become a hot food takeaway.

“The proposal will enable the operation of a professionally-managed kebab takeaway business under Sen Kebaba Ltd, providing freshly-prepared hot food for off-site consumption and delivery,” the application said.

The plans also include the installation of a “modest” mezzanine floor inside the premises, allowed for storage.

A commercial kitchen, extraction and ventilation systems, a serving counter, external signage and shopfronts improvements would also be carried out, if the plans are approved.

“The takeaway will provide freshly-prepared kebabs and related hot food for collection and delivery,” the plans added, with the venue open from 3pm to 10pm every day.

As the takeaway is in a “commercial/industrial setting”, the plans said there would be no noise impact, with filtration systems negating any cooking odours.

“The business will implement responsible litter management practices,” the plans added. “Staff will monitor the immediate vicinity, and customers will be encouraged to dispose of waste appropriately.”

Shopfront improvements would “enhance the appearance of the unit”, the application went on, with no other external changes required.

Meanwhile, the outlet would create jobs, bring a vacant property back into use, and increase commercial activity in the area, it added.
