Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that, by reason of the increased level of noise generated from vehicular and customer movements, on-street parking, and deliveries, as well as waste and cooking odours, in close proximity to surrounding residential properties, a Hot Food Takeaway would be entirely detrimental to residential amenity and would lessen the quality of life for nearby residents. Furthermore, the proximity of development to allocated Green Space land (SAP ref: G326), where children and young people play or congregate, is contrary to Paragraph 97 of the NPPF which seeks to promote healthy communities. As such the development is contrary to policy P10 of the Core Strategy, saved policy GP5 and BD5 of the Leeds UDPR, and to policies HFT1 and HFT3 of the Hot Food Take Away SPD which seek to protect nearby residents from adverse harm, as well as advice contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The Local Planning Authority consider that the food truck would result in significantly higher parking demand and comings/goings by customers and delivery drivers in comparison to the previous use as a residential curtilage. The development would not provide sufficient off-street parking and waiting areas for customers and delivery drivers. In addition, the application provides no information relating to how orders/delivery drivers would be managed. As such, the proposed use would result in vehicles waiting on the highway, which raises road safety concerns and is considered wholly detrimental for Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 residents and highway users. The development is therefore contrary to policies P10 and T2 of the Core Strategy, saved policy GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan, and advice contained within the Transport SPD (2023) and National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
