Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the health and wellbeing of local residents, with particular regard to the health of young people
- the vitality and viability of town and local centres
- the character and appearance of the area, including the appeal property
What decided it
The proposal's conflict with development plan policies on health and wellbeing and town centre vitality, particularly the concentration of hot food takeaways within 400m and proximity to a primary school, could not be outweighed by material considerations.
