Planning appeal decision
139 Chaddesden Park Road, Derby, DE21 6HL
Planning appeal 3286662 at 139 Chaddesden Park Road, Derby, DE21 6HL (Derby City Council) was dismissed on 13 June 2022 by Inspector Williamson J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the proposal on the shopping hierarchy.
Change of use from A1(Class E) to Sui Generis use as a hot food takeaway shop. A new kitchen, food prepare room and serving counter will be installed. There are no proposed external changes to the shop beside a small obscure window on the hidden left side elevation and the new extractor fan which will run up over the roof at the rear side of the property, as shown on the plans. The extractor will be at least 1 m above the window level. There are existing fences in the front elevation, this will be removed
