Restaurant chain Pizza Hut has applied to build at a Colchester retail park.

The chain wants to build a single-storey building near the petrol station at the Turner Rise retail park.

The plans will be considered at next Thursday's planning committee meeting.

Two letters of objection have been sent in by residents of nearby Braithwaite Drive who said there is already vacant retail floorspace at Turner Rise.

They also said the building would be an eyesore and cut out views of the town.

Pizza Hut said that many of the trips to the restaurant are likely to be made by people already visiting the retail park.

The company said there would be an average of four deliveries a week.

The planning committee has been recommended to approve the scheme
