Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the material change of use of the Land to a hot food takeaway on public health
  • the effect of the material change of use of the Land to a hot food takeaway on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and odour

What decided it

The material change of use to a hot food takeaway would result in harm to public health by further intensifying an over-concentration of such uses in an area already saturated with hot food takeaways and located within 400m of a school, contrary to London Plan Policy E9.
