A new pizza takeaway could be opening in Castle Bromwich following a planning application submitted to Solihull Council. The proposal, submitted by Palisade Properties Ltd, seeks to change the use of a retail unit in Rudgeway House on Hurst Lane North from a shop to a restaurant.
Details of the proposal
The application includes a design and access statement prepared by Architecture & Interior Design Ltd, which states: "The proposal is for change of use from a Class use E to Sui Generis. It will be going from a retail shop to a restaurant."
Architecturally, the facade and shop front will remain unchanged. Internal alterations will ensure the space is functional and aesthetically pleasing. The plan indicates three full-time staff will be on site at all times, with one part-time employee also hired.
The statement adds: "The proposal will create a more welcoming space for the local community as it will bring in a fresh design architecturally and also a new pizza restaurant that will provide high quality food."

Residents have the opportunity to comment on the proposal until June 16. Ground floor plans show a seating area, pizza oven, and kitchen. To view the plans and submit feedback, search for application PL/2026/00039/PPFL on the Solihull Council planning portal.
