A south Leeds takeaway has withdrawn its request to stay open until 3.30am, following complaints from neighbours.

Lord Pizza, on Bradford Road in Tingley, had wanted to extend its licensed hours beyond its current midnight cut-off, though three nearby residents objected, fearing noise and disturbance. However, a council hearing on Tuesday was told the application had subsequently been withdrawn.

A second bid by the takeaway, for a 24/7 alcohol licence was altered, with that application instead limiting its request to sell booze between the hours of 9am and midnight. That includes sales off the premises when the takeaway itself isn’t open.

The shop already has a licence to sell alcohol between 4pm and 11am between Monday and Saturday and between 6pm and 10pm on Sunday. Neither the applicant or any objectors turned up at the hearing, at Civic Hall in Leeds.
