Why it was refused
- The proposal would increase the number of hot-food takeaway within the active frontage of the parade to 33%. As such it would have a detrimental impact on the vitality and viability of the parade and result in a clustering of units, contrary to Policy 6 of the Shopping and Local Centres Supplementary Planning Document 2012 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
