In accordance with Minute No. 299 (2001/2002) Councillor Nick Redihough (objector) and Mr Mathew Carpenter (applicant’s agent) addressed the meeting.

 

That the officer recommendation not be upheld and the application be refused for the following reasons:-

 

In the opinion of the local planning authority the development is not acceptable having regard to the following likely impacts:

 

a.   The impact on highway safety having regard to the free flow of traffic on the West Bars roundabout and the adjacent roads taking account of how busy the site is likely to be and the space available on site for vehicle stacking;

b.   The environmental problem arising from an increase in littering in the local area;

c.   The contribution to a social health and wellbeing concern arising from a fast food outlet and the likely impact on obesity within the Borough of Chesterfield.

 

The development is thereby considered to be contrary to the Chesterfield Core Strategy policy CS2 and CS18 and the wider requirements of the 2019 National Planning Policy Guidance.
