• New stack discharging at eaves level.
Complaints still being received.
Kitchen in ground floor extension single story
surrounded by tall two story buildings (listed).
• Change in nature of A3 process e.g. No
odour conditions on original A3 permission.
• Problems arise though more intense odours
and noise from longer opening hours.
• Customer noise (cars, eating outside).
• Late night washing up, refrigeration and
extraction system.
Concerns about the used of:
• Stand alone ESP for odour removal
• Masking agents because dosing is difficult
to manage.
Odour/noise Nuisance mitigated by:
• Raising stack to above ridge of 4 storey
building (ca. 20m). Planning permission
required due to listed building status.
• Noise reduced by changing fan for variable
speed type and installed attenuation device
in duct work after fan
Odour Nuisance mitigated by;
• Installing coarse & fine filters and carbon
filters; and
• Maintenance checks every 2 weeks.
Odour Previously a French restaurant. No planning
requirement for change of use. No odour
control/no complaints.
