Internet Pet Store hits the high street

Posted on March 17, 2011 by | Leave a comment

A PRESTON BASED BUSINESSMAN is taking his family-run online retail website onto the high street by opening up a shop in Hull.

Neil Shillito has been running Amazing Animal Accessories as an online business for five years. But now the online retailing business will open its first store on Holderness Road, Hull.

The new shop will carry a range of pet accessories in store which will complement their larger range of over 14,000 products available online.

Neil said: “We have reversed the current trend of shops and pubs setting up websites and facebook groups, by taking our online store to the high street. After five years trading solely on the internet the family management team have decided to open our first store. There will be a free delivery service within a 3 mile radius of the store and also to the villages and towns to the east of Hull i.e. Hedon, Preston, Paull, Burstwick.”

The business will offer a free call back service for regular orders and will call you once a month to save you having to worry about running out of your pets favourite foods and treats, and then deliver it free to your door at a time to suit you. There will be a “Pet of the Month” competition with the winner getting a £10 voucher to spend in store or online.

They will have full internet facilities in store available for customers to research their pets needs and requirements.

They will be opening within the next three weeks and look forward to meeting customers face to face at 347 Holderness road, Hull, HU8 8RD. The shop will be open Monday to Saturday, 9am – 5pm and of course 24 hours on the internet at www.amazinganimal.co.uk

HU12 Website – monthly favourites

Posted on February 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

THE HEDON BLOG’S PARENT website, HU12, has developed its own particular audience. The website caters for those involved in civic society in this postal code area. It will be of particular interest to those voluntary and small-business people active in community affairs.

In February the following issues recorded the most interest on HU12:

Join the Revolution calls the Co-operative – But can we?
This comments on the launch of the Co-op’s new radical corporate  ethical plan. With three co-op outlets in the area then can we all gain from this?

The Big Society Business Plan
There’s been lots of talk about the “Big Society”. Here the Government sets out its plans for this.

Organising a Royal Wedding Street Party
A useful link to the definitive guide for organising a street gala on Royal Wedding day in April.

Councillors and “Hyperlocal” Websites
Local councils have begun to realise that websites like the Hedon Blog just might be very useful! This lists some of those benefits.

Top Council Pay and Consultancy Fees
Freedom of Information requests reveal some very interesting facts that perhaps councils would have liked to have kept hidden!?

UPDATE – Planning for Hot Food Take Away, Hedon Market Place

Posted on January 31, 2011 by | 2 Comments

Noise and smells?

THE PLANNING APPLICATION to open a new hot food take-away in Hedon Market Place, presumed to be a Chinese, has run into some serious objections.

As well as significant opposition from Hedon Town Council who object on the grounds of:

  • inadequate parking and servicing
  • noises and disturbances
  • disturbances from smells
  • affects on the Hedon conservation area
  • traffic generation

The East Riding Council’s own Environmental Health Officer (EHO), Jonathan Smith, has also recommended refusal of the planning application. The EHO is concerned that odours and noise from the kitchen, which would be channelled through to the rear of the building via an external flue, would affect nearby residential properties.

“On the basis of the potential to create odour and noise I feel that there is sufficient concern that this proposal would lead to a loss of residential amenity for occupiers of nearby residential property and therefore I would wish to recommend refusal of the application.”

Whilst this in itself does not mean that Council planners will refuse the application – it could still be accepted with an agreement to improve the flue extraction system being proposed – it does seem a big obstacle to the current proposal.

The latest expiry date for “neighbour consultation” is Wednesday 2nd February. Enter the East Riding’s Public Access website and enter Planning Application number 10/05104/PLF to see more details.

Hot food take-away proposal sparks controversy

Posted on January 14, 2011 by | 5 Comments

Existing take-away

“DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER TAKE-AWAY IN HEDON?” This is the question asked by commentators on the Hedon Blog (and Facebook Page) following publication of the planning application from Chi Chow to get permission to change the use of a former florists in the Market Place to a hot food take-away.

  • “We have 2 Pizza/Burger takeaways, a Fish and Chip Shop, an Indian takeaway and a Chinese takeaway. I think we are well catered for in the hot food department!” argues Sarah.
  • Gary says “We should support the takeaways we already have especially in the current climate when business’s already struggle to stay open.”
  • Mike comments: “I think this would be a big mistake if it gets passed, the shop will be closed all day only opening at 5:00, a prime retail location will be shut all day how sad considering we already have umpteen food outlets in Hedon”
  • “What concerns me is that dark corner, where the shop is situated, and what people a late night takeaway attracts …how many times do we see the windows of the current chinese put through?!!! I wonder how many drunken fights will occure?” fears Carol
  • “Unfortunately Hedon is selling out and killing any ‘unique’ quality it had/has….soon there will nothing left of its past” states Sydell.

The application to obtain planning permission is currently open for public comments. Anyone can object, support or comment on a planning application. Those who are aware of specific local conditions and problems can highlight these before the application is considered.

It is important to note that the council can only take into account matters which are relevant to the planning process. Advice on this is available from Planning Aid (see Planning Pack section 9).

You can register with the East Riding Council and give your views online at their Planning Public Access website note it is planning application reference number 10/05104/PLF.  Or contact:

New Hot Food take-away in Hedon Market Place?

Posted on January 11, 2011 by | 9 Comments

HEDON MARKET PLACE could be the location for a new hot food take-away subject to the proposal obtaining planning permission…

A planning application has been submitted to the East Riding Council to change the premises currently the New Dawn Florist from a shop unit to a hot food take-away.

The new take-away at 16, Market Place would sit between delicatessen Taste and printers Greenprint. The Council have already previously approved a planning application for a potential change-of-use from retail shop unit to a restaurant at the nearby premises currently previously occupied by Greenprint (see comment below).

The applicants argue that a take away facility within Hedon will mean people will not have to travel considerable distances to other towns and villages to other take away shops.

The planning application is due to be discussed by the Hedon Town Councillors on Thursday 13th January.

Further information about the Planning Application can be found at the East Riding Council Planning Public Access website. You need to agree to the terms and conditions of the website by ticking the box and then search for Planning Application 10/05104/PLF in the search box as indicated below:
