Explaining the reason for the decision, Service Director of Planning and Environment Steve Bambrick said: "It is considered that the proposal does not meet the criteria as set out by Part 3, Class C of the GPDO 2015 (as amended by The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) (Amendment) Order 2015 As Amended).
"Class C permits a change of use to a restaurant or café, this is a takeaway and is a sui generis use. Full planning permission is therefore required."
