- Redbridge Planning Service adopts a positive and proactive approach when engaging with applicants/agents in line with the National Planning Policy Framework. We encourage engagement with the pre-application service to avoid delays in the planning process. https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/planning-and-building/planning/
- Redbridge Council Waste & Recycling Team note that the business at the proposed site is required to have all commercial waste produced at the premises removed by a registered waste carrier. This is a paid for service and they would need to enter into a contract with the disposal company. Please be aware that the Authority no longer provides a commercial waste collection service. If the proposed business is to dispose of food waste or is to be restaurant/pub use, it is recommended that all waste be contained within a commercial container (360/660/1100 Litre Eurobin, dependant on the amount of waste produced weekly). This container is required to be sited within the boundary of the property and not on the public highway/forecourt or in any other public place.
- The applicant is advised that demolition and construction works have the potential to cause noise and disturbance to nearby occupiers. Works should be carried out in accordance with BS 5228:2009 (Code of Practice for Noise and Vibration on Construction Sites). Working hours should normally be restricted to: • 08:00–18:00 Monday to Friday • 08:00–13:00 Saturday • No work on Sundays or Bank Holidays
- Please be aware any new external plant / machinery / flues associated with a ventilation or extraction system will require a separate planning permission
