Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to the policies of the Coventry City Local Plan 2017
- Its effect on the living conditions at nearby residences in terms of noise
What decided it
The proposal would not be in a suitable location under Policy R6 as it would not be in a defined centre and would result in an over-concentration of hot food takeaways in an area already exceeding the national average, and it would harm the living conditions of nearby residents through noise from late-night customer activity.
The benefits of re-using a vacant property, adding vibrancy to the parade and generating employment were outweighed by the conflict with development plan policies on location suitability and residential amenity.
Plan policies cited: Policy R6, Policy H5, Policy DE1
