The proposed change of use to a hot food takeaway, by virtue of the application site's location, would result in an additional hot food takeaway use within the area, exacerbating the overconcentration of hot food takeaway premises within the area; and would intensify the cumulative impacts of such uses. Permitting this use would undermine the Council's objectives of promoting healthy lifestyles, reducing health inequalities and creating healthy neighbourhoods, and would be in direct contradiction of the stipulations of Policy SP9 of the Local Plan (2018). Therefore, this application is contrary to: • 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 proposed change of use to a hot food takeaway, by virtue of its out-of-centre location, would result in a new Town Centre use in an out-of-centre location, which would give rise to the detraction of financial investment, and would limit the vitality, viability, and economic policy aspirations for the identified Town and Local Centre locations. Therefore, this proposal is contrary to: • 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).

The proposed change of use to a hot food takeaway is likely to generate significant comings and goings, along with odour and noise emissions associated with its operation. In particular, late-night activity at the premises and the presence of delivery and collection vehicles idling nearby would give rise to the potential for noise and disturbance to neighbouring residential properties located in close proximity. In addition, the proposal fails to accommodate a fit-for- purpose extraction system to mitigate odour. Accordingly, the proposed development has failed to demonstrate a neighbourly form of development. Therefore, this proposal is contrary to: • Policies D1, D3, D14, SP8 of the London Plan (2021); and • Policies S6, SP1, SP2, SP3, SP8, SP9 and H1 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan (2018).

The proposed change of use to hot food takeaway has failed to demonstrate appropriate transport arrangements to and from the site for the intended use. The site's out-of-centre location gives rise to increase in pressure on existing surrounding parking areas, with no management of these areas proposed to ensure safe or legal parking practices. Notwithstanding, the proposed hot food takeaway use gives rise to frequent arrivals/departures from the premises, both by patrons and delivery drivers. No information has been provided to the satisfaction of Officers that delivery vehicles could wait lawfully and safely nearby to the premises without causing impact to the highway network, and no management plan has been included to demonstrate this. Therefore, this proposal is contrary to: • Policies T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 of the London Plan (2021); and • Policy INF2 of the Local Plan (2018). 26/00701/COU Page 2 of 5 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.
