A JAPANESE-style sushi cafe, deli and takeaway is on the cards for Kendal.

Applicant Ernesto Perez, of Kendal, has been given planning consent by South Lakeland District Council for the new oriental business at 37 Stramongate.

One neighbour raised concerns about food bins and potential blocked drains, but Kendal Town Council recommended approval.

Two vent grilles are to be added to the gable of the Grade II-listed former offices, and there will be bar seating for ten diners.
