Former world champion darts star Gerwyn Price has applied for planning permission to open a fish and chip shop in his home village of Markham.

The Iceman is hoping to convert Markham Pharmacy, in Abernant Road, into a new takeaway.

If Caerphilly Council planners grant permission, he will also have the roof raised to install a staff room on the first floor.

The proposed takeaway could create one full-time and four part-time jobs, planning documents show.

The council’s environmental health department has noted the premises is in a “mixed use area including residential”, and has therefore recommended the business should not open outside the hours of 9am-9pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am-8pm on Sunday.

The application can be viewed on the Caerphilly County Borough Council website under reference 23/0887/COU.
