Why it was refused

  1. The development would result in the addition of a new Hot Food Takeaway use located outside of a designated town or local centre. As a result, the proposed use would be contrary to the advice set out in the Council's Planning for Health Supplementary Planning Document, which seeks to restrict such uses outside of defined centres in order to combat increasing obesity and ensuing health issues. The development is therefore contrary to Places for Everyone Policy JP-P6, the Council's Planning for Health Supplementary Planning Document and the health objectives as set out in National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposals would result in unacceptable impacts on the amenity of the adjoining neighbouring dwellings, arising from noise and disturbance impacts at both ground and first floor, and also adverse impacts arising from the siting of the extraction flue to the rear. As a result, the proposals are contrary to Wigan Local Plan Policy CP17, Places for Everyone Policy JP-P1, the Council's 'Hot Food Establishments' Supplementary Planning Guidance, and the amenity objectives as set out in National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
