Plans to repurpose part of the former HSBC bank building in Pudsey into a food take-away outlet have been submitted to Leeds City Council for approval.
Ali Salem Naif Al-Shamary’s plan would create two full time jobs at the former bank chamber, which has been empty since it closed its doors in October 2020.
The takeaway would be open 11am to 11pm weekdays, and until midnight on weekends and bank holidays.
A design statement submitted with the application concluded: “The proposed internal take-away at 1 Church Lane is a sensitive, policy-compliant redevelopment that reactivates the building without compromising its heritage or the Conservation Area.
“The design prioritises noise and odour control, ensuring no impact on residential amenity. The development aligns with local and national planning objectives, offering significant community benefits.”
The plans can be viewed in full here.
A small hot food takeaway kiosk next to the former HSBC bank building were refused planning permission in May. Plans to turn the former bank chamber into a retail unit and flats were approved by council planners last August.

Great another takeaway, just whats needed along with more barber shops
So with as all the takeaways, we now need another one? Or will it be a matter of another money laundering enterprise. Nothing surprises me about this town any more!
Plenty of parking outside that location ……
I would like to object about the application of a takeaway in the old HSBC in pudsey. However I cannot find any information of how to do this
