Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the use on the health of local people, in particular school-aged children
  • The effect of the use on the wider redevelopment of this part of Woolwich Town Centre

What decided it

The site's location within 400m walking distance of two primary schools means the hot food takeaway use cannot comply with London Plan Policy E9, which restricts such uses in these locations to protect children's health.
