Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a hot food takeaway use with particular reference to the effect of such a use in this location upon the health of younger people
What decided it
The Holderness Drain creates an impermeable physical barrier that makes the practical walking distance to the nearest playing field approximately 800m, not 400m, thereby removing the policy conflict and making the site suitable for hot food takeaway use.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 12
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 96
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
