Conditional No ObjectionResearch has shown that takeaway type premises act as 'honey pots.' They cause persons to remain in the area for an inordinate period of time increasing the opportunities for criminal or anti-social behaviour, especially during the evenings and late night.; I would therefore strongly recommend that the trading hours are controlled and that the following condition be placed upon any approval granted in respect of the said application.
Conditions requested: trading hours are controlled and that the following condition be placed upon any approval granted: restriction on opening times for the takeaway activity to between Sunday - Thursday 5pm till 22.00 and Friday and Saturday 5pm till 23.00hrs
