Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed hot food takeaway on the vitality and viability of the Evington Road District Centre
- the effect of the proposed hot food takeaway on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and general disturbance
- the effect of the proposed hot food takeaway on the safety of pedestrians
What decided it
The absence of substantive evidence that the addition of one further hot food takeaway use would adversely affect the retail function, viability or vitality of the Evington Road District Centre as a whole, particularly given the centre's existing character and the block's predominance of similar uses.
