Plans for a city centre restaurant have quashed concerns it will be “another Hooters”.
Liverpool Council’s licensing and gambling sub-committee has given the go-ahead to plans for a new eatery to open on the ground floor of Norwich House on Water Street. Proposals had initially been submitted for a licence to trade alcohol until 2am as well as a request to play live music.
After discussions with Merseyside Police, the applicant Parvis Rezaee, dropped the music plan and changed the opening times in a bid to secure permission. Bill Wodkin, speaking on behalf of the applicant Parvis Rezaee, told the committee that the plans were “purely for a restaurant” despite concerns being raised the venue would represent something similar to the controversial American chain brand that received approval earlier this year.
