Refused25/02426/FULSubmitted 5 months agoChange of use

Coombe Road Kingston Upon Thames KT2 7AF

This application seeks retrospective permission for the change of use of the premises from Class A1 (retail) to Class A3 (restaurant use), now falling under Class E(b) in accordance with the revised Use Classes Order, for the operation of a Family-style Restaurant serving healthy, home-made Greek food for consumption on the premises. The restaurant provides seated dining facilities for customers in a welcoming and community-focused environment. The proposal does not involve a takeaway or late-night operation. As part of the fit-out, a kitchen extraction and ventilation system has been installed. This system incorporates high-level discharge, multi-stage filtration, odour suppression, and noise reduction measures to ensure there is no adverse impact on neighbouring occupiers or the wider environment. The extraction duct terminates above roof level, well clear of adjacent windows, and complies with environmental health requirements for cooking odour and noise control. The change of use will bring a vacant retail unit back into productive use, supporting the vitality and diversity of the local area, creating new employment opportunities, and contributing positively to the local economy.
