Why it was refused
- The proposed development (for hot food takeaway uses), by reason of the site being within reasonable walking distance of a place where children and young adults congregate, fails to comply with part 1(a) of Policy HC5 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026) and so would result in an unacceptable form of development which the Framework states "should be refused".
From the council's decision notice.
