Dear Sir,

I am the planning officer that is assessing the abovementioned planning application. I have recently received a consultation response from the Councils EHO (see below). He has a few areas of concerns which he needs addressing, i would be grateful if you could have a look at the points raised and send me an updated ventilation and extraction statement.

Kindest regards,

Richard

The Ventilation/Extraction Statement by Ayshford Sansome has been reviewed.

As presented, I consider that noise from the three flues, when used in combination, is unlikely to be intrusive to neighbouring commercial premises. However, it is unclear what additional internally-generated noise(s) may be audible externally via the eleven roof ventilation hatches and louvres serving the intake for the condensers. A more detailed acoustic report is required to assess all contributors in unison, with frequency analysis, for a definitive judgement to be made.

In respect of odour, no data has been provided to enable an assessment. I suggest that the applicant determines what specific odour abatement technologies are required and their effect on extract velocity. Advice should be sought to determine whether the installation requires an Environmental Permit for solvent usage/management. All this will have a bearing on the final extraction specification and may also inform the noise impact assessment.

If the application is to be approved at this time, I recommend that a noise impact assessment and an odour impact assessment are required by separate condition for approval before installation occurs.

In respect of the flues, the current report only considers the three that are to be installed in the first instance. I therefore recommend that a further condition is imposed requiring that an additional noise assessment is submitted and approved prior to the installation of the fourth (should this not be included in the NIA required above).

Regards

Martin
