Why it was refused

  1. The site is located within 400m of the recreation ground which has youth centred facilities and is a place where young people congregate. The site is not located in the defined local centre and the use as a hot food takeaway is therefore contrary to the provisions of NDMP HC5 and Policy BDP 25 which seek to ensure the health and well being of young people and promote healthy communities.
  2. Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate how customer vehicles, delivery drivers and servicing vehicles would operate in practice without creating additional turning movements, vehicle manoeuvring, waiting, or informal parking in the vicinity of the junction. Given the complex nature of the junction and constrained nature of the location, lack of parking and lack of certainty regarding servicing arrangements and operation of the access arrangements in practice alongside the intensification of activity associated with the proposed use there is the potential for the use to adversely affect the efficient operation of the junction and result in conflicts between vehicles, pedestrians and other highway users to the detriment of highway and pedestrian safety and contrary to the provisions of Policy BDP 16 of the Bromsgrove District Plan and NDMP TR3 of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
