A fast food restaurant is applying to stay open until the early hours.

KFC in London Road, Brighton, currently opens until 11pm most days and midnight on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

But, in a licensing application it now wants to stay open until 3am every night. 

The restaurant is run by franchise Supercharger Central which has applied to the council for the new licence.

Supercharger previously applied to install self-order kiosks and change the floor plans of the restaurant.

The licence was granted but Sussex Police said CCTV must be provided and maintained in operation 24 hours a day.

There must also be half hourly litter patrols in the vicinity of the restaurant.

For the new late licence, police and the fire service have been consulted. 

The plans are set to be discussed at a licensing panel meeting on Thursday, October 3.

It comes after another Brighton restaurant was granted a late night licence for takeaway and deliveries until 3am.

Rafiullah Khan, who runs Zaf’ron, an Afghani and Persian halal restaurant and takeaway, in North Road, Brighton, said he was responding to demand because his business catered for people who worked late-night shifts, including NHS workers, security staff and taxi drivers, who just wanted healthy, fresh food.
