The proposed use of the premises as a hot food takeaway, by virtue of increased activity from the comings and goings of customers both within and in the vicinity of the application premises, would lead to late night noise and disturbance which would be detrimental to the amenity of nearby residents, particularly those residential occupiers above the application site, and would be contrary to saved Policies H4 (Primarily Residential Areas) and S14 (Use of Shops and Other Premises for Class A3 (Food and Drink) Uses of the Liverpool Unitary Development Plan.

The proposed fume extraction system, by reason of its proximity to the dormer window of the first floor residential accommodation, would form an obtrusive and overdominant feature which would have an overbearing impact to the detriment of residential amenity and would cause loss of amenity through noise and potential smells, contrary to saved Policies H4 (Primarily Residential Areas), HD18 (General Design Requirements) and S14 (Use of Shops and Other Premises for Class A3 (Food and Drink) Uses of the Liverpool Unitary Development Plan.
