You need to apply for planning permission to turn most places into chippies (apart from other hot food takeaway establishments) so you could be, but you'd also be given warning and be able to object. Your objection might not count for much, but planners are definitely wary of the downsides of takeaways.
(Wierdly, dry cleaners are class A1 - shops - but launderettes are sui generis)
(Most councils have certain rules about takeaways, like not wanting too many of them close together, or in quiet areas, or close to schools etc.)
