Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the concentration of hot food takeaways in the area
- The character and appearance of the host property
- The living conditions of occupiers of Nos. 221 and 225 High Street North, with regard to privacy, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal extends an existing use rather than creating a new hot food takeaway business, and therefore does not conflict with policies seeking to avoid over-concentration of such uses, while the identified harm to neighbouring privacy can be adequately mitigated by condition.
