Planning policy criteria for Class A5 (or 'Sui generis') hot food takeaways
See notes
1. If your local authority has planning criteria which determine the acceptability of planning applications for new Class A5 (or 'Sui generis') hot food takeaway outlets, contained in an adopted or interim policy or guidance document (such as a Local Plan, Supplementary Planning Document, or Development Management Plan), please can you send us a copy of this document.
Please see MDDD (adopted February 2014) at this link: https://www.wokingham.gov.uk/sites/wokingham/files/2023-06/Adopted%20MDD.pdf for the Council’s current planning policy (TB15) that references hot food takeaways on page 47. Car parking standards for Class A5 hot food takeaways can be found on page 124.

3. If you no longer have an adopted policy or guidance document that contains Class A5 (or 'Sui generis') hot food takeaway outlets planning criteria, but these criteria were contained in any superseded documents that are now out-of-date, please send us a copy of these out-of-date documents.
Not applicable
4. If you have never had an adopted policy or guidance document that contained Class A5 (or 'Sui generis') hot food takeaway outlets planning criteria, please let us know.
