Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents with reference to noise, general disturbance and the risk and fear of crime
  • Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for a hot food takeaway with particular regard to health

What decided it

The site's location within 400 metres of schools, combined with the inability to control the type of cuisine served or guarantee healthy options, means the proposal would conflict with Policy DM10's requirement to promote healthy lifestyles and would influence behaviour harmful to health.

The benefits of bringing a vacant unit back into use and providing natural surveillance carried limited weight and did not outweigh the harm to healthy lifestyles identified by the policy conflict.
