The controversial new Hooters restaurant in Liverpool city centre could face prosecution over signs it has put up without planning permission.
Last month, the American chain finally opened its second UK venue on Water Street despite public outcry against the move. While the city’s licensing committee was happy to grant permission for the new venue to operate, the local authority’s planning body was not keen on two large neon orange signs to be placed outside New Zealand House.
As such, planning permission for those was rejected. However, this didn’t stop the business, who put the signs up anyway and have appealed Liverpool Council ’s decision.
