Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Wye Conservation Area and the landscape and scenic beauty of the North Downs National Landscape
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposal would conflict with national planning policy relating to hot food takeaways in close proximity to schools and places where children and young people congregate
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Wye Conservation Area and would harm the landscape and scenic beauty of the North Downs National Landscape, whilst also causing unacceptable disturbance to neighbouring residents and conflicting with national policy on hot food takeaways near schools.
