Plans approved for German Doner Kebab shop in Scarborough
The restaurant is proposed to open on 80 Newborough, between the Trespass shop and the PDSA charity shop
Scarborough Council has approved plans seeking internal and external alterations to a retail unit that is set to be a new German Doner Kebab restaurant.
Plans for the opening of a branch of the German Doner Kebab restaurant in Scarborough’s town centre are proceeding as Scarborough Council has approved changes requested by the business.
The plans, submitted in July, sought permission for the siting of extraction equipment and shopfront alterations.
The plans included seeking approval for an orange shopfront advertising sign that would be 8.3m wide and 1.3m high.
The application also included evaluations of the noise impact of extraction equipment, such as ventilation and air conditioning, that would be in use on the site.
The restaurant is proposed to open on 80 Newborough, between the Trespass shop and the PDSA charity shop.
Adjacent to Marks & Spencer, the currently vacant space was previously occupied by Greenwoods Menswear.
The applications for shopfront changes and siting of the extraction equipment were both approved on Wednesday October 12.
Restrictions on the illuminated fascia state that it must not endanger any passers-by “or hinder the ready interpretation of any traffic sign” and must be “maintained in a condition that does not impair the visual amenity of the site”.
Local investment and the creation of “approximately 30-40 jobs in the town centre at a time when the high street is suffering” has been promised by the applicant, Alaya Enterprises Ltd.
The site is part of a terrace of commercial properties and according to a statement by the applicant, the business plans to make use of the entire property including the first floor, which will be used for storage and staff services.
Mr Tim Croot, the council’s environmental health officer, had raised some concerns about noise that would be emitted from the extraction equipment.
In a report, he asked that the acoustic consultant “re-assess the proposed ventilation and air conditioning and proposed mitigation” to ensure that noise from on-site equipment does not exceed the approved limits.
The approval of the plans by the council set an additional condition, whereby the applicant must “comply with Hepworth Acoustics recommendations for noise control, acoustic engineering solutions and noise management contained within the submitted noise impact assessment received September 30 2022”.
