Planning application- MC/17/4383 – 158 Canterbury Street, Gillingham ME7 5UB

Refused on the following ground:

1          The proposed change of use from A3 to A3/A5, in particular to the A5 takeaway use would result in the concentration of similar uses and would be unacceptable in respect of environmental impact in terms of noise and general disturbance on neighbouring occupiers and, on highway safety as a result of vehicle movement and need for additional parking that would be associated with a hot food takeaway use. The proposal would be contrary to Policies BNE2, R18, T1 and T13 of the Medway Local Plan, 2003.
