The move follows a period of council consultation where several comments were lodged, including a representation from a business raising concerns about potential odours.
The council’s environmental health department also requested specific information from the applicant, including a noise assessment for any proposed equipment.
A consultation statement from environmental health officers adds: “A canopy is shown in the kitchen with a comment that it locates above the range.

“The applicant relies upon a condition being attached requiring submission of details for agreement of [the] Local Planning Authority.
“Whilst a condition may be appropriate at some stage, it is considered that more information is necessary in relation to the potential impact of odours and noise upon nearby occupiers.”
According to the planning application submitted to the council, proposed opening hours for the hot food takeaway were 8am-11pm, seven days a week.

Any future bid to open a hot food takeaway at the site would require a separate planning application.
