AN American-style diner could open in Deansgate.

Plans have been submitted to turn a cafe in Deansgate into a restaurant/takeaway.

Applicant, Salim Kala of Romford-based Midan Properties Ltd, is also looking to turn offices on the floors above into nine bedsits.

A statement with the application says: "The applicant wishes to fully refurbish it and open an American diner to serve hot and cold food of a high standard.

"The primary focus will be that of an eat in restaurant with a dessert bar but due to the town centre location it is inevitable some aspect of a takeaway will need to be implemented."
