Southwark’s planning sub-committee B has rejected plans to turn an off-licence in Southwark Park Road into a kebab shop.

Councillors decided that the kebab shop would have a detrimental impact on residential amenity due to noise and smells.

The committee was also concerned about the proximity of the proposed kebab shop to the Harris Academy Bermondsey girls’ secondary school.

Cllr Jeff Hook gave an impassioned speech arguing against the sale of “low quality” food to young people.
