Plans for a Pizza Hut restaurant in Bushey Heath moved closer to fruition tonight as councillors accepted plans for a new ventilation system on the premises.

Applicant Soar Investments submitted plans to erect a new ventilation system, disguised as a bricked chimney, to the rear of the building, in High Road.

Members of the Bushey and Aldenham planning committee had no objections to the application, which was recommended for approval by council officers, and it was unanimously passed.
