Onsite Odour Survey
Odour Consultants were commissioned to undertake the odour assessment in support of the full planning application for a residential development.
Project Outline
Odour Consultants (ODC) supported the planning application for a new residential building located adjacent to a commercial kitchen.
Our Role
ODC produced the odour assessment for the planning application, forming one of the key documents for the application. The assessment involved an onsite odour field survey, where a series of sniff tests were carried out to ascertain the existing odour released from the neighbouring take away restaurant. The survey was carried out on a weekend evening, when the restaurant was operating at peak capacity to provide a conservative assessment. In addition, information on the commercial kitchen extract system was gathered during the survey, which then fed into a qualitative risk assessment of the commercial kitchen odours, undertaken following the EMAQ+ guidance.
