A former town centre burger restaurant is set to become a 24-hour "adult gaming centre" after just one objection.
Merkur Slots has been given planning permission to convert the former Burger King on Broad Street in King's Lynn.
It comes a month after another gaming business was given the go-ahead to move into a former clothes store on the same pedestrianised shopping street.
While that application sparked a fierce debate on the council's planning portal, Merkur's proposals attracted just one objection.
It said: "I work for a recovery service and though we don't support people with gambling issues I have personally responded to many phone calls from people asking for help with their gambling addiction.
"I believe the positioning of this 'centre' is completely wrong."
In a planning statement, Merkur said the lease on a site it currently occupies on nearby Norfolk Street was set to expire and it was keen to remain in the town centre.
It said adult gaming centres were places "where people go to spend their spare change, have a game of bingo and enjoy their favourite pastime".
"The customer base after midnight is predominantly the local entertainment workforce and shift workers who like to relax after their busy shifts, hence the requirement for flexible hours," it added.
"Given the nature of the proposal and the commercial context of the site, together with the fact that the existing Merkur Slots unit on Norfolk Street operates 24 hours without issue, 24-hour opening at the application site is considered acceptable in this location."
Burger King, which had previously occupied the unit, closed its restaurant in January 2023 and has since opened up a branch near the Hardwick Roundabout.
