What should Kelso 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.
In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.
Questions about takeaway and hot food fit-out in Kelso
Can you work in a dark kitchen unit?
Yes. Delivery-only kitchens follow the same hygiene and extraction rules without the customer counter.
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.
Is the survey free in Kelso?
Yes. We survey units in Kelso and across the Scottish Borders free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Kelso?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
