APPROVED: A new Chinese takeaway will open in Astwood Road after plans were backed by the city council A NEW takeaway will be allowed to open in a city street despite the council previously ruling there were already enough fast food restaurants in the area. Takeaway owner Tianxia Chen has had plans to open a new Chinese restaurant in Astwood Road backed by Worcester City Council. The decision comes after the council rejected a plan by Abdul Waheed to open a takeaway and catering business rejected by city council planners a year ago. Last April, council planners said there were already enough takeaways in the area and allowing another to open would be noisier and create more bad smells as well as generate more pollution through constant deliveries.
