CONTROVERSIAL plans for a late night kebab van have been withdrawn following a stream of objections .
An application was submitted for a new late-night kebab van in a Test Valley village last month .
The proposal , which was submitted to Test Valley Borough Council , was for a street trading licence for the lay-by on the A27 in Sherfield English .

One of the main objections to the kebab van , was from Sherfield English Parish Council , which they claimed there is not enough demand for the facility and it will cause noise pollution .
Their objection said : `` We are a quiet village , and the facility will be open till 11pm which means people will come to use facility from surrounding areas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pollution and noise pollution close to residents .

The objection added : `` On our village development plan this section of the A27 is looked upon as the introduction to the village , and a facility such as this would not be in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Signs will probably be put up to advertise the outlet . ''

An application was submitted for a new late-night kebab van in a Test Valley village last month.
The proposal, which was submitted to Test Valley Borough Council, was for a street trading licence for the lay-by on the A27 in Sherfield English.
The trader planned to sell kebabs, burgers, chips, tea and coffee as well as cold food.
The licence was for a van or trailer to operate there between 8am and 2pm and then 4pm and 11pm, seven days a week, for a six month period commencing on March 1.
However, following a number of objections, the applicant has since withdrawn the plans.
One of the main objections to the kebab van, was from Sherfield English Parish Council, which they claimed there is not enough demand for the facility and it will cause noise pollution.
Their objection said: "We are a quiet village, and the facility will be open till 11pm which means people will come to use facility from surrounding areas once other outlets are closed causing light pollution and noise pollution close to residents.
"We also have four food sale opportunities in the village (fisheries, camp site, Hatchet Inn Garden Centre) so there is no demand for this type of facility.
"There is likely to be an increased amount of large goods traffic, they will not use A36 and will be coming through the village, which will cause problems also in Whiteparish where it is narrow and only one HGV can get through."
The van would have also been responsible for all rubbish and also for providing toilet facilities on site.
Another comment from the parish council said the lay-by is part of the footpath which leads up to the church, making it difficult for walkers and could be dangerous.
This is because their application states there will be a towing vehicle, trailer, toilets and litter bins.
The objection added: "On our village development plan this section of the A27 is looked upon as the introduction to the village, and a facility such as this would not be in keeping with the surrounding countryside.
"Signs will probably be put up to advertise the outlet."
The applicant of the kebab van is a company named Oz's Catering Ltd, the Daily Echo attempted to contact the owner but was not able to speak to them.

A HORSE has made a full recovery after suffering a `` hideous '' eye injury in his Hampshire field .
Tommo , a 21-year-old Welsh cob , is thought to have caught his eye on a thorn in a hedge alongside the field at Norley Farm Livery , near Lymington .
The horse 's owner , maths teacher Kate Collison , discovered the injury when she went to feed him .
Kate , 46 , of Lymington : `` I was in pieces but the owner of yard and the other people there were truly amazing and hit the ground @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vets ' – it was only ten minutes but it seemed like hours - I was trying to talk to Tommo to calm him but perhaps it was me who needed calming . ''
Eye expert Anna Jennings was on hand when Tommo arrived at Seadown Veterinary Services in Hythe .
She said : `` The horse had sustained an extensive laceration to his lower eyelid .
He was admitted to our equine hospital and underwent surgery to repair the damage .

It was still a fresh wound with little contamination - and the thorn had miraculously missed his eye .
`` I 'd like to say a huge 'thank you ' to Annie and everyone at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with his post-operative care , which went on for weeks .
Kate also paid tribute to Breda McDonagh , the Seadown vet who examined Tommo at Norley Farm Livery and referred him to the equine hospital .

Tommo, a 21-year-old Welsh cob, is thought to have caught his eye on a thorn in a hedge alongside the field at Norley Farm Livery, near Lymington.
The horse's owner, maths teacher Kate Collison, discovered the injury when she went to feed him.
Kate, 46, of Lymington: "I was in pieces but the owner of yard and the other people there were truly amazing and hit the ground running.
"All the way to the vets' – it was only ten minutes but it seemed like hours - I was trying to talk to Tommo to calm him but perhaps it was me who needed calming."

"He fought so bravely and for so long.
"Frazer was a very proud father and loved his girls very much but because of his condition in hospital, his daughters were unable to go and say a final goodbye to their daddy.
"We are all heartbroken and our lives will never be the same.
"He will be forever missed by all his family and friends and we hope he can now rest in peace."
The tribute comes following Mr Brabant's death in hospital earlier this week – sparking a murder investigation by police.
Mr Brabant was taken to hospital after an incident occurred on the night of Halloween, October 31.
Frazer was found in the rear garden of a residential property in Gershwin Road, Basingstoke, with serious head injuries.
Frazer has remained in hospital ever since but passed away on Tuesday, January 21.
Five people have been arrested in connection with the incident on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
They are two men in their 30s from Basingstoke and three men in their 20s – two from Basingstoke and one from Middlesex.
They remain under investigation.

They will ask you to download ‘anti-virus software’ which may cost but also turns out to be spyware, used to get your personal details. IT companies don't contact customers this way.
Chelsea Davies, manager at call-blocking firm CPR Call Blocker who compiled the list, said: “Whilst online scams continue to be growing, that doesn't mean that offline scams aren't also on the rise. With so many people treating their mobile phones as an extension of their body, people are more accessible by phone than ever before.
"Some of these scams target specific individuals, while others involve people being called at random. Some involve phishing, a type of scam in which the caller is trying to find out information (such as personal or banking information) that can be used in other crimes."
“We want to make people in Hampshire aware that scammers are becoming more inventive and if something sounds too good to be true or out of the ordinary, it could well be a scam. We always strongly recommend never giving your bank details or paying or something over the phone that you're unsure of. Especially if the call you receive is the first time you have heard of any payment that needs to be made.”
If you want to stop receiving scam and nuisance calls this year, follow CPR Call Blocker’s quick three-step guide to stopping unwanted calls: Sign up to the Telephone Preference Service – call 0845 070 0707 or visit www.tpsonline.org.uk.
Don’t consent to being contacted – get your phone number taken off directories and look out for tick boxed on all marketing correspondence to see if ticking or unticking them will prevent your details being passed on to third parties.
Consider getting a call blocker.
If you think you may be receiving scam calls, here are a few ways to protect yourself:
If you think you may be receiving scam calls, here are a few ways to protect yourself:
Don't reveal personal details. Never give out personal or financial information such as your bank account details or PIN – even if the caller claims to be from your bank.
Hang up. If you feel harassed or intimidated, end the call. You have the right not to feel pressurised.
Ring the organisation. If you’re unsure whether the caller is genuine, you can always ring the company they claim to be from. Make sure you find the number yourself and don't use one provided by the caller.
Don't be rushed. Scammers will try to rush you into providing personal details. They may say they have a time-limited offer or claim your bank account is at risk if you don't give them the information they need right away.
Ms Davies continued: “If you suspect you may have compromised your bank account, contact your bank or card provider as soon as possible. It is also advisable to check your bank and card statements regularly for unauthorised charges as a matter of course.”
