Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed change of use on the retail function of the Ridingleaze local centre
  • The effect of the proposed change of use on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with regard to antisocial behaviour and littering, as well as any effect on the promotion of unhealthy lifestyles to young people

What decided it

The addition of one hot food takeaway to a local centre already containing three similar uses, with no substantive evidence of unacceptable harm to retail function or neighbouring living conditions, justified allowing the appeal.
