This is acceptable in all aspects to achieve a satisfactory standard of development with no adverse impacts.
A sustainable drainage strategy is considered achievable and conditions are included for further details.
The Senior Planning Officer then read out a letter of objection from the late list which highlighted the risks associated with introducing potential fast food outlets close to educational establishments.
