Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed use of the building would affect the vitality and viability of local centres
- The effect of the proposal on the health of local residents
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regards to outlook, odour, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with development plan policies that restrict hot food takeaways outside defined retail and commercial centres, and would harm the vitality and viability of local centres and the health and well-being of residents, which cannot be outweighed by the absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions.
Framework references: 96
Plan policies cited: Policy RC21, Policy RC18, Policy QP4
