Planning Application Requirements for Sensitive Uses

Applications for restaurants, cafés, hot food takeaways, bookmaking offices, amusement centres, pubs and nightclubs will be required, where appropriate, to submit the following details: • 1:50 scale drawings of the location and siting of any proposed external ventilation ducting and any other mechanical plant indicating clearly its design and dimensions and relationship to existing and proposed windows and architectural features. • Indicate on the submitted drawings clearly the location of the fan and motor elements within the ducting, specifying details of silencers or other sound attenuation measures, including anti-vibration mountings and acoustic cladding. Depending on the proximity of residential premises, these details alone may not be sufficient and may need to be linked to an accompanying noise impact assessment. • Confirm that the proposed ventilation ducting will achieve a minimum of 30 air changes per hour and/or 0.2-0.5 metres/second across the canopy face or 1.5-2.0 metres/second across the filter. • Provide details of proposed refuse storage and collection arrangements (particularly the storage/disposal of putrescible waste material). All refuse should be stored in suitable containers within an enclosed area, which should be clearly identified on the submitted drawings. • Provide details of L.P.G storage arrangements and provision of grease traps to the drainage system. • Give details of any off-street parking provision. If on-site car parking spaces are proposed, these should be clearly identified on the submitted drawings. • Give details to show that all glazed areas which could result in noise nuisance will be double glazed and non-openable, and that all external doors will be self-closing. Where windows are required to be fixed, a suitably silenced mechanical ventilation system will be required. This may be linked to an accompanying noise report. • Specify details of the intended days and hours of operation including servicing and deliveries intended to take place outside normal opening hours. • State the anticipated staffing levels. • Provide details of any delivery service.
