| Thank you Pete. Part of the problem are the Use Class and Planning Laws that permit A1 Use Class to be used for Fast food, if they did have to apply for a change of use my neighbours and I would have objected! The other problem major issue was that these particular Franchisees didn't do a proper fit-out to ensure that odour and noise pollution did not occur - even though I told them they needed to insulate and sound proof. They also didn't consult with the Council who would have advised them! Hence Abatement Notices were eventually served. But the real problem is, I understand, now their rent free period has come to an end they are struggling to break even so undertaking costly remedial works is something they are reluctant to do, however they now have no choice or face a £20,000 fine on each of the Abatement Notices. We believe it's money that drives them to tolerate badly behaved customers as they don't want to lose the customers, hence income. |
