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

Do I need planning permission for a takeaway?
A hot food takeaway is its own use class, so converting a shop usually needs planning permission. We check before you commit to the lease.
