I detail I f"to* an extract from one of our Members who is a Qualified Engineer I Uovinq looked at the specilicqtion for the ventilation systems for the obove applicotion, I would I ond routes, I I consider them adequote ot best. Without scale drawings to work out the intoke extract I would imogine that there is a potentiol problem in the build-up of smells ond heot coming firom this I property. Troditionally, ventilotion stacks ore not effective in the dispersolol moisture ond odours. I fnry con block with greose ond couse potentiol fire hozards. We must olways remember that a client decides not to use it, or use it properly I ventilation scheme can be designed, although if the | (down to cost) thot's when the issues stort to orise. I Wno will therefore monitor that it is being used correctly? I .1tre Parish Council believe that the residential accommodation above and adjacent to the property will be I unpleasantly and adversely affected by this change of use, as will the residents inhabiting that accommodation. I puit ine is ofgreat concern also, there are only two designated parking spaces, is this enough for a Takeaway. There I is currently a parking problem in that area of North Weald, with vehicles parking in front of local peoples drives on I tn" ffign Road not allowing people to exit their homes. The Village Hall has advised that visitors to local shops are I using the Hall as Parking therefore not allowing sufficient parking for Hall Functions - the hall is used Day, Evening I and Weekends. Whilst there are ry yellow lines along the High Road these are not enforced. I We atso believe that having a Takeaway located in North Weald could mean that there will mean that there will be I an increase in car journeys made, which could see customers coming from other locations such as Epping, I Coopersale and Ongar, I poucv DBES- Loss oF AMENITY I The Councilwill require that a change or intensification of use, extension or new development does not I result in an excessive loss of amenity for neighbouring properties. The factors which will be taken into I account are: I til visual impact; (ii) overlooking; (iii) Ioss of daylighUsunlight; and (iv) noise, smell or other I aisturbance thereby causing an excessive loss of amenity for neighbouring residents. I I there will clearly be Visual lmpact & Noise Smell & Other Disturbances I fne High Road Shops in North Weald are classed as a Local Frontage. Therefore it is necessary to ask what I premises there are a key retail use for - is there a demand for another Takeaway in North Weald. We believe this a I fUaterial Planning Consideration which should be taken into account.

There are concerns with regard to the access to the site. Simply by replacing the fence with a hedge will not be sufficient to make the application acceptable or to make it in keeping or less overbearing.
