That's all very well, but my question was on which policies the refusal is based. Secure planning decisions depend on policies laid down in planning guidance, not on (however sensible) arguments the public write in with. Some of what you said may be reflected in policy, but mostly it won't be. The council must have said in its decision letter something like: 'This application is refused planning permission because it is in conflict with policies ABC456, XYZ123, and ZZZ007' etc. As I said, if the decision is not based on sound policy reasons, it can be appealed, and the applicants would win in that case.

William.
Some of these have been mentioned above, but here are the key points in our objections:
-childhood obesity and diabetes caused by this kind of food
-Large number of fast food take away shops already in vicinity, 6 of which 3 are chains
-Increase in congestion: air pollution already causing 4000 deaths in London a year
-Increase in noise pollution and associated mental health problems
-Site was previously home to an independent cafe run by a charity for abused women which was an asset to the community. Big chains and connected rent increases force valuable local business out and stifle community cohesion
-proposed online ordering and delivery model reduces high street footfall
-constant to and fro of deliveryscooters on previously quiet side street
-fuck off and die poisonous scumbags
