00:00A burger chain could set up shop in this ornate city centre location if permission is granted

00:07by Leeds City Council.

00:09Fat Hippo Group has applied to convert part of a Grade 2 listed building at 22-23 Boar

00:14Lane into a restaurant.

00:17The company is seeking listed building consent for alterations to the vacant ground floor

00:22and basement of the site near Leeds Station.

00:25Leeds City Council will consider a planning application for the building which is part

00:29of the city centre conservation area.

00:31A design report said that bringing a currently redundant site into use can only be seen

00:36as a positive.

00:37It added that planned changes to the building include a bar and serving area, new lighting

00:42and the installation of extractor ducting.

00:45The report by John Taylor Architects said the internal works would not harm any special

00:50architectural or historical features.

00:53The building would be in a prominent location for Fat Hippo which already has a branch in

00:57Headingley.
