A pizza chain in the city could see its opening hours extended with deliveries into the early morning.

Papa John's, in Colman Road, has lodged an application with Norwich City Council to extend its opening times by an extra five hours every day. 

If approved, its delivery service will be available from 11pm until 4am every morning. 

The business' current opening hours are from 11am until 11pm.

In documents online, submitted by the applicant Manzoor Hussain, it states: "We are looking to extend our delivery services and looking to offer food delivery services using our own drivers using the back door from 11pm until 4am.

"This will be an extra five hours of trade each day, seven days a week."

The document adds that the extended opening hours will not involve any noise or music within the premises.
