Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having particular regard to the effect on the redevelopment of the Beckton Riverside Strategic Site, and sustainable transport
What decided it
In the absence of an approved masterplan for redevelopment and given the uncertainty around timescales, two small drive-through units would pose no more threat to redevelopment of the Strategic Site than existing retail units elsewhere on the shopping park.
