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.
