TC3 Food and Drink
Proposals for food and drink establishments should support the town centres function, vitality, viability and retail strategy. There should be no adverse impact on residential amenity, public safety, highway safety or the character of the area. Proposals for restaurants and cafes (Use Class A3) will be supported where they come forward as part of a mixed use scheme or can be shown to support the vitality and viability of the town centre.
The impacts of proposals for Drinking Establishments (Use Class A4) and Hot Food Takeaways (Use Class A5) and Nightclubs (Use Class sui generis) will be considered in combination with other such uses within the town centre. New establishments will only be permitted where it can be demonstrated that either individually or cumulatively the proposal will not:
- Harm the vitality and viability of the town centre;
- Result in any increase in crime and disorder;
- Harm the amenity of other residents and businesses within the town centre; and
- Harm the amenity of other residents in the areas around the town centre.
The placing of tables and chairs into the street will be acceptable where it does not prejudice highway safety, public safety, the movement of pedestrians, the operation of street events or street markets, the character of open spaces or result in activities that cause harm to residential amenity
