A FORMER opticians in the heart of Lymm village could become a cafe and takeaway.

Plans have been submitted to convert the Adcott Opticians unit.

The site is next to the Sainsbury's close to The Cross.

Developers have now put in an application to use the building as a cafe/restaurant and hot food takeaway.

The planning application said: "The neighbouring units offer a mix of uses and the introduction of a café/restaurant and hot food takeaway unit this location will enhance the services on offer to the local area.

"Changes of use that do not result in the loss of viable convenience shops, cultural facilities, public houses or impact the diversity of services in communities will be approved."
