| 1. | The proposal would, by virtue of the likely consequence of noise, general disturbance and smell or fumes, have a significant adverse effect on the occupiers of adjacent and nearby dwellings. In particular, activity outside the front of the premises is likely to disturb neighbours, especially in the evenings when vehicles are arriving, parking and departing outside or near to the premises. it is considered, therefore, that the proposal would run contrary to the objectives of criterion (b) of Policy SHP15 of the Borough-Wide Local Plan (adopted by the Borough Council on 23rd February 2001) which seeks, in relation to the provision of hot food outlets, to safeguard the amenities of the area. |
