The property is located within an identified hot food takeaway hotspot and the material change of use to a hot food takeaway exacerbates the overconcentration of hot food takeaway uses in the area and intensifies the cumulative impacts of such uses. Doing so undermines the Council's objectives of promoting healthy lifestyles, reducing health inequalities and creating healthy neighbourhoods. This is contrary to The National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies E9, SD6, SD7, SD8 and GG3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies S6, SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP9 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan (2018).

The change of use to a hot food takeaway, by virtue of its out-of-centre location, results in a new town centre use in out-of-centre location which gives rise to the detraction of financial investment; and limits the vitality, viability, and economic policy aspirations for the identified town and local centre locations. This is contrary to: The National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies E9, SD6, SD7, and SD8 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies S6, SP6 and INF5 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan (2018).
