A KILWINNING takeaway's offering could be expanded if plans are approved by council officers.

The Fat Boys business, based at Station Plaza, is bringing an off-sales application to North Ayrshire Council's licensing board next week.

If granted, this would allow the premises - launched six months ago - to sell alcohol, cigarettes and vapes alongside the current offering of hot food.

Approval would also mean that the products could be sold as part of the delivery service offered by the establishment.

However, as the application is only for off-sales, no consumption would be allowed within the business.

Further details on the planned expansion are provided within the proposals which will be brought before the board on December 2 by applicant Lovepreet Singh.

If given the go-ahead, the sale of such products will be allowed between the business opening hours of 10am-10pm each day.

Supporting documents state: "Challenge 25 policy will be in place within the premises and all delivery drivers and staff members will be required to take part in the premises two-hour mandatory licence training.

"Snappy shopper, Food Hub, Just Eat, Uber Eats, North Ayrshire Eats and Deliveroo are currently in place and these systems also have the option to notify the customer that they will be required to show proof of ID on delivery and collection.

"The off-licence will have a separate serving area within the premises that will only be accessible to staff members with a secure counter for the public to order from.

"This will prevent any children or young persons accessing this area and still allow them to enter the premises to order food from the food counter."

Ahead of the licensing board meeting, no comments or objections have been raised by police, the fire service, the health board or any other relevant authority.

There were also no issues raised by members of the public.

The application will now be subject to approval or refusal by licensing board committee members when their meeting is held on Monday.
