Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effect of the proposal on the creation of a healthy food environment
  • Effect of the proposal on the vitality and viability of Local and Town Centres
  • Effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents in respect of odour, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal's location within 400m of a primary school entrance, combined with its location outside a designated town or local centre and the significant harm to residential amenity from odours and noise, collectively justified dismissal.
