This application was discussed at our meeting last night and the Village Council has strong objections to this development.
The restaurant is already operating under the flexible planning laws which are not in the best interests of the community. There has to be a valid reason in the first instance for refusal of a development which are then overturned for no reason except this worrying loophole arrangement. Two years ago the application was not approved because of road safety issues, these issues still exist they have not been remedied. This is a very busy road with little parking . In liaison with the Police we have been trying to make it safer and stopping people parking carelessly but the problem continues. There simply is not any more room for any additional parking. The restaurant has been in operation for almost two years and in that time the applicant has had little regard for their neighbours the illegal flue currently there is an eyesore and is adversely affecting those living next to it. The applicant has continuously flaunted the planning laws and this problem is currently a standing item on our agenda with the local community concerned as to what Leeds CC is actually doing to solve this? We await further contact Diane Brown Parish Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer SwillingtonVillage Council

Hi Dan, I have had a look at your comments on the parking situation and note your objections.
This site has an interesting planning history in that the restaurant use occupied the premises under flexible planning use regulations (time limited for 3yrs) having been previously refused a change of use on highway related grounds. You highlight shortcomings in the proposed parking layout and parking numbers and that you are aware of parking issues at the site/vicinity of the site‐ do you have a record of complaints received?
I imagine any refusal (and anticipate this will be something local residents will be supportive of) will lead to a planning appeal so it would be important to bolster the Council’s case with a history of parking related complaints arising from the operation of this unit over the past 3yrs. This would be something tangible that could be presented to any Planning Inspector and make the Council’s case more robust.
Happy to discuss if need be.

Hi James,
I raised concerns regarding parking based on the fact parking was mentioned in both objection comments against the application with Reg. 12 (3) objection specifically mentioning vehicles parking on‐street is leading to road safety issues for pedestrians. I have spoken to traffic and they have had no formal complaints regarding parking on Church Lane however we can use objector comments to support a reason for refusal.
Although the restaurant may have been operating under a flexible permission this has never been approved by highways and I would not like to support this application considering the contribution it is likely to have on the surrounding residential streets. Vehicles are also known to park on‐street from observations on my site visit and restaurant parking is likely to displace these vehicles which could lead to disputes between neigbours over parking in front of eachothers houses.
It should be noted that when traffic were introducing the 20mph limit to Church Lane speed cushions were chosen ahead of road humps as their construction is generally better for vehicles to park near. This came after a resident mentioned vehicles currently park on‐street on Church Lane which supports our argument.

Hi Karl, following receipt of your comments I requested further information from the applicant. I have yet to receive a response but concurrently we are dealing with an application seeking to establish the use of the restaurant at the site (it has benefitted from a temporary ‘flexible use’ in the past three years).
Clearly, the applicant has yet to supply adequate information to demonstrate that the installed equipment provides sufficient mitigation on noise and odour impacts but does your section have any record of neighbour complaints specific to these issues since the restaurant has been in operation? It would be helpful to build up an evidence base in the event we are minded to refuse the restaurant use at the site.
Happy to discuss if need be.

Hi James,
As per my initial comments on the application the level of off‐street parking provision associated with the property does not meet with the recommendations of the Parking SPD. However, the previous use of the site will have generated a demand for car parking and the new restaurant is located within an existing parade of shops. On balance, in this instance the proposal for an Indian restaurant in a suburban area is likely to attract customers who live within close proximity of the business, these customers are not expected to drive to the restaurant. It may therefore be difficult to sustain a highway reason for refusal if the application were to be appealed provided that the car parking arrangement were to be improved to maximise off street staff and customer parking.
The 3 parking bays to the side of the restaurant adjacent to Neville Grove are unacceptable, they are inaccessible via the entrance off Neville Grove due to a lack of manoeuvring space so rely on customer parking spaces to be vacant in order to be accessed. They also require vehicles to reverse long distances when exiting the parking area which is unacceptable. A new vehicular access should be created off Neville Grove leading to the land at the rear of the site, this area should be used for staff parking meaning parking spaces do not have to be independently accessible. A revised carpark layout plan should be provided maximising parking before highways can support the application.
The bays off Church Lane are laid out correctly and seen to be acceptable.
Kind regards,

The restaurant opened in early February 2017 under the flexible use provisions of the GPDO. This gave them two years to operate without formal planning permission. We did serve them with an enforcement notice on 23 March 2018 but before it came into effect they applied for planning permission to retain the flue, this had the effect of putting the enforcement notice on hold. The reference number for that application was 18/02250/FU. This was approved on 27 Sept 2018 subject to conditions.. The application to discharge conditions, 18/06274/COND, inc technical specification of the flue is still outstanding as the applicant has yet to submit enough information to satisfy Environmental Health officers.
After a reminder of the expiration of this time they applied to keep the restaurant on a permanent basis. The reference number is 18/07939/FU. The description is change of use from shop (A1) to restaurant (A3) and new cladding/ walling to existing flue. This was received on 24 December 2018. The application remains undetermined as the planning officer (James Bacon) is negotiating with the agent over the amount and layout of the proposed car parking following highways concerns.
At this time compliance officers cannot take any action regarding the flue as there remain undetermined planning applications relating directly to it.
If the applications are refused then we can look again at taking a more proactive stance but at this time is not appropriate.

Hi Lisa‐ had a look at where I’m at with this application.
As I mentioned, I queried the Highways objection to understand what parking related complaints/accidents highways had received over past two years since unit was in operation (and to evidence any subsequent appeal)‐ none have been received. Similarly, I liaised with the Environmental Protection team and there has been no record of any complaints received as regards odour/noise from equipment whilst the restaurant has been trading. Questioning the robustness of a refusal.
Highways have made suggestions to improve the current parking layout which I am to discuss with agent.
We have also previously accepted the method of screening the kitchen equipment (parapet wall, painting of roof mounted pipework and cladding (brick) of the vertical section of the flue) to address visual amenity concerns.
I have slightly tweaked your comment below‐ see italics.
Let me know if you need anything else (although I anticipate I will be fielding the next lot of correspondence demanding why I’ve not progressed the application further).

Dear Councillor Dobson
Thanks for your enquiry on the above matter, to which Tom has asked me to respond. As I understand the position from my officers, the restaurant opened in early February 2017 under the flexible use provisions of the GPDO. This gave them two years to operate without the need to obtain formal planning permission.
The Council did in fact take formal action, by serving them with an enforcement notice in relation to a flue at the property on 23 March 2018. However, before it came into effect they applied for planning permission to retain the flue, this had the effect of putting the enforcement notice on hold. The reference number for that application was 18/02250/FU. This was approved on 27 Sept 2018 subject to conditions. The application to discharge conditions, 18/06274/COND, including the technical specification of the flue is still outstanding as the applicant has yet to submit enough information to satisfy Environmental Health officers.
After a reminder of the expiration of the permitted time they have also applied to keep the restaurant on a permanent basis, which of course they are entitled to do. The reference number is 18/07939/FU. The description is change of use from shop (A1) to restaurant (A3) and new cladding/ walling to existing flue. This was received on 24 December 2018. The application remains undetermined as the planning officer is considering the robustness of the case to justify refusal of planning 3 permission. Previous concerns raised about the restaurant use in respect of parking and noise/odour impacts have not however translated to any recorded accidents/ complaints from the relevant Council sections since the restaurant opened.
The applicant is unknown to the planning officer and all correspondence in relation to the application has been directed through their appointed planning agent.
At this time compliance officers cannot take any action regarding the flue as there remain undetermined planning applications relating directly to it, which render such action inexpedient.
If the applications are refused then we can look again at taking a more proactive stance but at this time I am advised that is not appropriate.
I trust the explanation above has been of assistance.

Paj, further to our telephone conversation I have spoken with Dan in Highways. He recalls discussing this site with you and the parking arrangements.
Essentially, Highways have removed their objection to the proposal but commented on the parking layout as follows:
‘The 3 parking bays to the side of the restaurant adjacent to Neville Grove are unacceptable, they are inaccessible via the entrance off Neville Grove due to a lack of manoeuvring space so rely on customer parking spaces to be vacant in order to be accessed. They also require vehicles to reverse long distances when exiting the parking area which is unacceptable. A new vehicular access should be created off Neville Grove leading to the land at the rear of the site, this area should be used for staff parking meaning parking spaces do not have to be independently accessible. A revised carpark layout plan should be provided maximising parking before highways can support the application.
The bays off Church Lane are laid out correctly and seen to be acceptable’.
If owing to the ground level differences around the site (i.e. Neville Grove appears to be at a higher ground level than the rear of the application site) then for the purposes of the plan it would be worth removing the 3 marked out bays on plan (Highways wouldn’t wish to endorse a substandard parking layout) and leave staff to utilise the existing hardstanding area in a more informal way.
Please review the existing site layout plan and I hope this helps bring the application nearer to a conclusion.

This correspondence has been received and they are viewable on the Council’s planning website. The duct work is considered unsightly and works to screen the equipment (incl. parapet walling, applying a muted grey colour to the horizontal section and encasing the vertical section in brick cladding) were agreed as part of a retrospective planning permission last year (Ref: 18/02250/FU). This work has not yet been implemented, no doubt awaiting the outcome of this current application.
The unreported complaints referred to in your letter relate to the operations of the restaurant. As you will be aware, the restaurant has operated since 2017 under the provisions of the flexible use planning legislation and the current application seeks to continue the restaurant use. In assessing the likely impacts from its continued operation, such as highways/parking and noise/cooking odours, regard is given to the issues that may have arisen over the past 2 years, since it was opened. During that time the relevant respective sections of the Council (Highways and Environmental Health) have not received any complaints about how the restaurant has been operated. It is noted that planning permission for the restaurant use was previously refused (Ref: 16/05465/FU) on highway related grounds but given that there is no record of any complaints/ incidents since the restaurant was opened it makes it difficult to demonstrate that continuing the restaurant use would cause severe highway issues and justify refusal on such grounds.
An updated site layout plan has recently been submitted by the applicant’s planning agent and we are awaiting additional information on the specifications of the kitchen extraction equipment as the cowl at the top of the equipment is to be replaced. This information is to be submitted shortly and will update the planning file.
I hope the above comments clarify matters in regards to recorded complaints and update you on the progress of the planning application.
If you require any further explanation or require any further details, please let me know.

Thank you for your Email regarding the above In reply to the issues regarding complaints people do not always even consider this course of action when incidents have occurred.The main concern for residents overlooking the side of the property is the unsightly duct,which they have had plenty of time to rectify as this was first brought to the owners attention on Wednesday 14 June 2017 days after installation and before the restaurant opened its doors.The parapet wall which was passed,but when questioned as to why it hadn't been installed,the reply was the roof would not take a parapet wall,the wall should be an extension of the existing wall and the roof reinstated,then to top it all when plans were submitted for full planning the parapet wall is back on the plans, I think stalling tactics come to mind.If you would like to come and view what we have had to look onto for over two years you are quite welcome. On a final point the restaurant closed on 15 July 19 and signs stating under new management appeared in the window but to date it has not opened,could your please tell me how this will effect the planning application?

From: Bacon, James Sent: 06 August 2019 09:35 To: Stephen Gott Subject: RE: Planning Application Ref:18/07939/FU Change of use of shop to restaurant; new cladding/walling to existing flue at 12 Church Lane, Swillington
Mr Gott, I concur with your opinion on the unsightliness of the ducting and revisions to the previously approved application were secured in an attempt to hide the equipment installed.
The raising of the outer wall to form a parapet detail around the flat roof is a more costly solution than the originally proposed timber panelling but the applicant’s architectural agent has confirmed it is structurally feasible.
I was not aware that the restaurant had recently stopped trading (and may go some way to explain their failure to implement the external works to screen the ducting). From a planning perspective, any application or planning enforcement actions relate to the land/buildings and responsibilities would pass to the current landowner to remedy planning breaches.

Paj, further to our telephone conversation I have spoken with Dan in Highways. He recalls discussing this site with you and the parking arrangements.
1 Essentially, Highways have removed their objection to the proposal but commented on the parking layout as follows:
‘The 3 parking bays to the side of the restaurant adjacent to Neville Grove are unacceptable, they are inaccessible via the entrance off Neville Grove due to a lack of manoeuvring space so rely on customer parking spaces to be vacant in order to be accessed. They also require vehicles to reverse long distances when exiting the parking area which is unacceptable. A new vehicular access should be created off Neville Grove leading to the land at the rear of the site, this area should be used for staff parking meaning parking spaces do not have to be independently accessible. A revised carpark layout plan should be provided maximising parking before highways can support the application.
The bays off Church Lane are laid out correctly and seen to be acceptable’.
If owing to the ground level differences around the site (i.e. Neville Grove appears to be at a higher ground level than the rear of the application site) then for the purposes of the plan it would be worth removing the 3 marked out bays on plan (Highways wouldn’t wish to endorse a substandard parking layout) and leave staff to utilise the existing hardstanding area in a more informal way.
Please review the existing site layout plan and I hope this helps bring the application nearer to a conclusion.

Hi Paj‐ I don’t think the detail on the attached plan in the below email is accurate (this detail comes from the COND application that is no longer relevant).
As I understand it, the proposal simply involves screening the existing ductwork with a parapet wall/ muted paint finish, encasing the vertical section in brick panelling and replacing the cowl at the top? See below photo of existing situation and the exist/proposed elevations within the latest plan (Rev D).
Does the schedule provided by SJK Ventilation relate to the current equipment and as shown below?
I’ve attached the specification details that I’ve dragged through from the application last year (Ref: 18/02250/FU)‐ do these remain relevant to what has been installed at the site at present?
I am trying to pin down exactly what has been installed and what the result of the changes details under 18/07939/FU will have but I’m happy to discuss further if I’m not being clear.
