Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development with regard to reliance on private car use
  • The effect of the proposed development on health and wellbeing

What decided it

The site's location on an established traffic route with good accessibility by non-car modes, combined with the absence of specific policy restrictions on fast food uses or identified local health concerns, meant the proposal would not create undue reliance on private car use and would not harm health and wellbeing.
