The use class is likely to fall within the new “E” category although it is understood the property might also benefit from A5 (Hot food takeaways) consent which would now be classed as Sui Generis (interested parties should make their own enquiries to confirm).

There is parking to the front and side of the building with space for approximately 20 vehicles.  There is an LPG (bottle gas) connection to the rear of the property for powering cooking hobs.  Gas bottles are available at the nearby shop in Marshgate (1.1 miles away).  Central heating and hot water are provided by an oil fed boiler.  The oil is stored in a tank behind fencing to the side of the property.  There are security alarm and CCTV systems in place to protect the premises.  There are two picnic benches under the canopy of the front elevation, which provide additional seating.
