Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would result in more than 10% of units in the frontage (Nos. 1476 to 1490 Pershore Road) within Stirchley District Centre being in hot-food takeaway use. This would lead to a concentration of hot food uses which would adversely affect the vitality and viability of the frontage of which it forms part. As such it would be contrary to Policies TP21 and TP24 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Policies 4 and 5 of the Shopping and Local Centres Supplementary Planning Document 2012 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. It has not been demonstrated that the proposed extraction, noise and odour control system is suitable for the use or whether such equipment will lead to an adverse impact on the amenity of occupiers of residential units in the vicinity by reason of noise and odour. As such the development is contrary to Policies PG3 and TP37 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Policies DM2 and DM6 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
