Thereafter, having considered objections received, Councillor Macpherson, seconded by Councillor Dick, moved refusal of the application on the grounds that the increase in the floorspace of the hot food takeaway is considered to be contrary to Policy 1 - Vibrant and Sustainable Communities, of the Dundee Local Plan Review 2005 as it will have an adverse effect on the environmental quality enjoyed by adjacent local residents by reason of increased traffic movements and noise. There are no material considerations of sufficient strength to justify the granting of planning permission contrary to the policy.
