PLANS have been submitted to turn an empty hairdresser's in Christchurch into a new Pizza Hut.

The proposal for the unit in Bargates would see the shop transformed into a new takeaway.

The application for the premises between Dream Doors and Palmer Snell is for a change of use from a shop to a hot food takeaway.

It also includes erecting new signage outside the premises.

Members of the public can make comments on the application until September 8.
