What should Carlisle owners check first?
- Odour control on the extraction is often a planning condition.
- Wall finishes must be smooth, washable and non-absorbent in food areas.
- Hot food takeaways need planning permission for the use class, and many councils restrict new takeaways near schools.

Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
