Parking.
There is an existing access onto the highway and it is relevant that the established use of the building already generates a large degree of traffic movement to and from the site. There are 6 car parking spaces on site entirely for customers use. Adequate visibility sight lines are available ( $2.4 \mathrm{~m} \times 43 \mathrm{~m}$ in both directions suitable for a 30 mph speed limit) with clear views along the highway. In is relevant that there is a public car park within 144 metres of the premises which can be used by customers (signage to this affect would be erected outside the premises) It is envisaged that the majority of customers to the building would be local residents arriving by foot.
Extract Ventilation.
There will be a modem cooking air extract ventilation system installed into the building to pacify any concerns about noise and odours. The system is to be designed and installed by specialists and comply with required standards. Both the inlet and outlet flue positions will be located on the rear elevation to hide from view and away from boundaries, so as not to impact on neighbouring properties.
We trust the enclosed is in order and would be pleased if you would place the application before your committee in due course for their necessary consideration and favourable approval.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further information or assistance in this matter.
