Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed hot food takeaway, having regard to encouraging healthy food choices
What decided it
The appeal site's location within 400 metres of a secondary school entrance conflicts with Policy RT10's aim to encourage healthy food choices, and a condition limiting opening hours would not adequately address this policy objective.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy RT10
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.
