Kitchen Extraction System Planning Applications

We offer a complete and streamlined planning application service for kitchen extraction systems, ensuring your project addresses all essential environmental factors, including noise, odour, and visual impact. Our structured yet flexible approach guarantees that each unique requirement of your project is fully met.

Required Documents

A complete planning application for kitchen extraction systems includes:

• Architectural plans

• Noise report

• Odour report

• Equipment specifications

• Design and Access Statement 

We select appropriate filtration equipment, fan silencers, and ducting routes tailored specifically to your project’s needs. As your planning agent, we handle the entire submission process for you.

You’ll need to answer a brief set of questions for submission via this form. These can be completed within 10 days after we initiate your project.

Key Milestones and Next Steps

Milestone 1: Preparation & Documentation (10-14 days)

We first prioritise your internal layout, ensuring early review and confirmation from you. Simultaneously, we complete your Design and Access Statement alongside noise and odour reports. Before submission, you’ll review and confirm the finalised documents.

Milestone 2: Planning Application Submission (0-2 days)

Upon your final confirmation, we submit your application to the council. You’ll pay the council fee directly—we will provide instructions for this step.

Milestone 3: Validation Letter (approximately 7 days after submission)

The council issues a validation letter once your application is checked and confirmed complete. We proactively ensure all documents are accurate and complete to minimise delays.

Milestone 4: Feedback from Environmental Health & Departments (1-2 months after validation)

Environmental Health typically accepts our noise and odour proposals, thanks to our collaboration with leading industry experts. Should amendments be requested, we respond quickly—usually within 2 days. We also monitor and address feedback from other council departments to maintain a smooth process.

Milestone 5: Council Decision (approximately 2 months after validation)

While councils aim for a two-month decision period, it can occasionally take longer. We remain actively engaged throughout this period, promptly addressing any additional council requests to support meeting the target decision date.

Our goal is clear communication, professional handling of your application, and efficient management of every stage, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your project’s outcome.
