This proposal would be contrary to Policy HG4 of the adopted Cumbernauld Local Plan, in that the operation of the proposed development from this site would have a detrimental and unacceptable effect on the amenity of the residential area due to smell, noise, litter and disturbance generated by the use. List of Background Papers: Application form and accompanying plans Cumbernauld Local Plan (Adopted) 1993 Memorandum from Local Plans (Cumbernauld Team) dated 1 lth August 1997. @ Memorandum from Transportation dated 1 lth August 1997. Memorandum from Housing Department dated 8th August 1997. Memorandum from Environmental Services dated 20th August 1997.

The application site currently sits adjacent to an existing licensed grocer and was originally a storage facility associated with the premises. The storage area became a self contained unit in 1990 and its last known use was a showroom. 1.2 The proposal will involve orders being placed at the premises, presumably by telephone, the food being prepared and then delivered to the person who placed the order. This type of operation will differ from the normal hot food carry out premises where any member of the public can arrive on spec, place their order within the premises and then leave once their order has been filled. 1.3 The surrounding land use of the site consists mainly of terraced, amenity or flatted residential properties. However as previously mentioned the neighbouring premises is currently a licensed grocer. The site is also adjacent to a North Lanarkshire Council Community Hall. There is also a public house a and 20 space car park to the east and an Apostolic Church to the west of the development site. 1.4 The site is zoned residential within the Cumbernauld Local Plan. 2.0 Background 2.1 The site previously fell within the remit of Cumbernauld Development Corporation. There are two previous applications which have a bearing on the consideration of this proposal. In 1985 and 1987 Cumbernauld Development Corporation received applications for the same premises to be converted into a hot food carry out shop. In both cases the proposed development received objections from the neighbours and both times the applications were refused for the following reasons:- 1985:- “In general the Corporation believed that a ‘hot food’ shop in the locality of Lochinvar Road would not improve the environment of the area and many letters of objection were received from local residents. A take away unit in this location would indeed cause nuisance to residents, encourage loitering and also create a litter problem. In addition, the Corporation is concerned that, as there are no footpaths adjacent to the proposed building at present, access would prove difficult for the public and for these various reasons the application was refused”. 1987:- “The proposed site is surrounded by residential areas where residential amenity would be adversely affected by the development as a result of noise, smell, litter and in particularly late night activity, and therefore it is considered that the application be refused”. 3.0 Representations and Consultations 3.1 None of the consultees had any objections in principle to the proposed development, namely: Transportation Environmental Services Local Plans Housing Estates 32 North/ c: m sof flwwlcom ap9 719 7/12 1 0 -2- 3.2 North Lanarkshire Council placed a “bad neighbour” development advert in the Cumbernauld News dated 20th August 1997. This advert generated 1 letter of objection and 1 petition with 190 signatories whose concerns are outlined below:- i) Increase in traffic ii) Smell iii) Litter iv) Loitering 4 Nuisance vi) Close proximity to amenity housing, community rooms and Apostolic Church vii) No need for the facility viii) Enough “bad neighbour” development in the area viz:- public house and licensed grocer 4.0 Observations 4.1 The majority of the objections to this development are expressing fears to the nuisance problems associated with most ‘hot food’ carry out operations i.e cooking smells, increased traffc, extended opening hours, loitering and litter generation. These problems are generated through the nature of hot food shops and are not easily controlled through planning conditions. I would also consider that cooking smells, increased traffic, and extended opening hours, do cause noise and disturbance which can adversely affect the residential amenity, particularly when the premises generating the associated problems lies within the heart of both the vehicular and footpath network serving a predominately residential area.
