Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the use of the premises as a hot food takeaway incorporating a delivery service on the living conditions of residents of the area
  • the effect of the use of the premises as a hot food takeaway incorporating a delivery service on highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it

The imposition of conditions controlling opening hours (2300 hours closing), odour and litter, combined with the existing background noise and activity from other uses in the parade, meant the hot food takeaway use would not cause significant adverse effects on living conditions or highway and pedestrian safety.
