Reviewed build intelligence

What the documents establish

Government document review

Final permission issued on 25 August for conversion of an existing ground-floor unit. June drawings show 78 m², an extractor and grease-trap/bin positions, but final odour-control and signage details remain subject to agreement.

4 official documents inspected · Checked 2026-09-07 · Official file index

Final grant covers a 78 m² existing-unit conversion

Final grant for existing premises, not a new building

What the evidence says
The 25 August grant approves the takeaway change of use and incorporates the June additional details. The RFI floor plan marks the ground-floor application area in green and states 78 m², with kitchen/storage, cold room and counter/serving space. Upper-floor accommodation shown in the section is outside this conversion scope.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Kitchen and fit-out teams can scope the ground-floor conversion without counting upstairs accommodation as new development.

What is not established
Commencement, opening, contract awards and installed kitchen equipment were not established. No source headline is changed.

Extractor location is shown but final odour controls need agreement

Condition remaining after acceptance of June information

What the evidence says
The June rear elevation marks an extractor fan. The planner records the FI response as complete, including manufacturer details, but final condition 4 still requires revised odour measures, extract-duct details and equipment-maintenance arrangements to be agreed in writing before commencement. Submitted product literature is not a settled installed system.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Ventilation specialists need the complete agreed odour-control and maintenance design before procurement.

What is not established
An agreed final duct/filter system, capacity selection, installation and emissions performance were not established.

Operating hours and refuse handling are conditioned

Operating and waste requirements in final permission

What the evidence says
Condition 3 limits operation to 4 pm–10.30 pm Monday to Sunday unless otherwise agreed and requires collection of business litter nearby. Condition 7 allows open refuse storage only on collection day. The FI site plan identifies proposed grease-trap and bin-storage locations.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Waste, drainage and operations teams need to coordinate the shown servicing positions with the permitted evening operation.

What is not established
Installed grease-trap specification, waste contract, grease maintenance and actual operating compliance were not established.

Front-only raised-letter signage needs agreed details

Final frontage conditions

What the evidence says
Condition 5 requires individual raised letters and written agreement of materials and associated lighting before commencement. Signage is limited to the front elevation; condition 6 also requires agreement for otherwise-exempt advertisements. The drawing’s generic signage band is not the finished sign specification.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Sign suppliers should obtain the agreed materials and lighting details before manufacture.

What is not established
A final approved signage package, supplier appointment and installation were not reviewed.

The current file names different earlier retail references

Earlier permission reference requires reconciliation

What the evidence says
The grant description says the retail unit was previously granted under 03/1224, while the council assessment’s planning-history section identifies 03/5028 for two retail units with upstairs accommodation and 05/4565 for retained alterations. These different references are preserved rather than silently treated as interchangeable. They do not alter the separate 25 August 2026 grant.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Planning teams tracing the lawful existing building need the correct older decision before relying on a parent reference.

What is not established
The earlier references are not merged or asserted to be aliases. No internal parent link or original-permission correction is invented.

Remaining document questions
  • Have final odour/signage details been agreed, and has the earlier retail-permission reference been reconciled?

The declared pages of these government-published PDFs were visually inspected. Other catalogue files, later compliance, procurement and installed specifications were not established. Historical weekly membership is retained separately from these document dates.
