More than 150 people have signed a petition objecting to plans for a kebab shop in a north Devon town.
Residents in Newport in Barnstaple are concerned a shop in would be detrimental to the neighbourhood.
The planning application seeks permission for a change of use of the currently empty premises from a retail shop to a food and drink shop.
Planning officers have recommended a decision is delegated from councillors to the council planning manager.
Residents say they are worried about the effect on traffic, litter and noise pollution, particularly at night.
