Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the change of use and operation of the takeaway container on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular reference to odours and smells and noise and disturbance
- The effect that the operation of the takeaway container in this new location has on highway safety, amenity and parking
What decided it
The proximity of the larger container to Goodwin Court residential flats created unacceptable impacts from cooking odours, smells and noise, and the loss of six parking spaces created unacceptable highway safety risks, contrary to development plan policies and the NPPF.
Plan policies cited: Policy 9, Policy 15, Policy 22
