Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The application site lies within an identified hot food takeaway hotspot and the proposed hot
food takeaway would further intensify the cumulative impacts of the overconcentration of such
uses in this area. Additionally, the site is located in close proximity to a primary school. A hot
food takeaway at this location would therefore further undermine the Council's objectives of
promoting healthy lifestyles, reducing health inequalities and creating healthy neighbourhoods.
The proposal is therefore considered contrary to:
The National Planning Policy Framework (DLUHC, September 2023);
Policies GG3 and Policy E9 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021); and,
Policies SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP9 of the Newham Local Plan (LBN, December 2018).
2
Notwithstanding reason for refusal 1, the proposal has failed to demonstrate that the
application site would be able to appropriately be able to gather, store and put out waste and
recycling for the cafe/restaurant, without restricting use of the surrounding pavements or roads.
The application details have not included any information for how waste will be collected, or by
whom, and Officers cannot deduce any potential storage location from the proposed drawings.
Therefore, this proposal is contrary to
The National Planning Policy Framework (DLUHC, September 2023);
Policy SI7 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021); and,
Policy INF3 of the Newham Local Plan (LBN, December 2018).
The above policies can be viewed online via the respective government websites ie. the Council's
website www.newham.gov.uk , the GLA’s website www.london.gov.uk and the www.gov.uk website.
