A Domino’s Pizza in the Lake District could soon be staying open until 2am every day.

DPRS (Windermere) Ltd has submitted an application to the Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) to vary a condition on a planning permission so the takeaway restaurant on Lake Road in Bowness can stay open until 2am.

The restaurant-chain has applied to amend the condition which states that the extraction equipment shall not be operated between midnight and 8am.

Planning documents say: “Whilst the hours of opening are not restricted the above condition restricts the effective use of the premises as a pizza takeaway. Domino's seeks to extend the hours of operation to 02:00 each day of the week.”

According to the Domino's Pizza website, the takeaway is open until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays, and until midnight Sunday to Thursday.

The application points out there are a number of venues in the town that are open late so the ‘principle of late night operation is well established’.

The planning statement adds: “As such, the proposal to allow a modest extension to the hours of operation in line with neighbouring properties will enhance the overall offer of the town to residents and visitors alike as a modern world class destination.”

This application is currently under consideration by the LDNPA.
