Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the suitability of the site as a location for the proposed development, with particular reference to local planning policies
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effects of the developments upon the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property
- whether suitable living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling
What decided it
The proposed development fails on all four main issues: unsuitable location for a takeaway near a school in an already over-provided area, harmful impact on street character, significant adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions through loss of light and outlook, and inadequate living conditions for future occupiers.
