Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal accords with the health requirements of the development plan for the area including Principle 2 of the Bradford 'Hot Food Take-Aways' Supplementary Planning Document 2014 which resists hot food take-aways within 400 metres of schools, youth facilities or recreation grounds

What decided it

The imposition of a condition restricting the use to delivery only, with no visiting customers, ensures the proposal does not conflict with Principle 2 of the SPD's health objectives regarding childhood obesity.

Plan policies cited: Principle 2 of the Bradford 'Hot Food Take-Aways' Supplementary Planning Document 2014, Policy DS1, Policy DS5, Policy EN8 of the Bradford Core Strategy Development Plan Document 2017

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
