A takeaway fit-out is a compact commercial kitchen with a customer counter and a waiting area, built to food hygiene standards and with extraction that satisfies planning conditions.

What should Chichester owners check first?
- 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.
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
Questions about takeaway and hot food fit-out in Chichester
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 Chichester?
Yes. We survey units in Chichester and across West Sussex free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Chichester?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
