RTC4: Hot Food Take-Away Uses

Proposals involving the establishment of hot food take-away uses will be determined in accordance with the following criteria:

  • the contribution it makes towards the character, role, function, vitality and viability of the shopping centre, its night-time economy and the local area; and
  • the proliferation and clustering of hot food take-away uses within the immediate area; and
  • the impact upon the quality of the local environment, including the amenity of neighbouring residents, in terms of noise, litter, smells and/or vibrations; and
  • the impact of access, servicing and parking arrangements on highway safety, traffic flows, and parking; and
  • the impact of ventilation extracts on the streetscape and the amenity of neighbouring properties; and
  • the potential for mitigation to minimise the impact on the local environment.
