Dear Robert,
As advised on the decision for our planning application, we have now consulted with
ventilation and acoustics experts from two different engineering companies who
have vast experience of working in Greater Manchester region.
Please see below for the responses on the points raised by Environment Health.
1. The information provided did not include an odour risk assessment, so we
cannot determine if the abatement proposals will be adequate.
Response:
a. Odour risk assessment following DEFRA guidelines was completed by
Combi-Vent Engineering LTD on 19-April-2021 and concludes:
• Impact Risk: Low
• Significance Score: 12
Supporting document: DEFRA-RISK-ASSESSMENT-FOR-ODOUR
COMBI-VENT-266 Wilmslow Rd Fallowfield
b. A second review was also conducted by ventilation engineer from Exoflue
on 30-April-2021. Exoflue have been specialising in providing extraction
solutions for commercial wood and gas fired pizza ovens for over 10
years. This report concludes that:
• Odours – With the high operating temperature of the oven there are
no food odours that get into the system, except, on occasion, and
depending on how much is used on the base, a slight smell of
burning semolo (which is a re-milled semolina used to stop the
pizzas sticking to the oven base).
• Smell and Smoke – The Pavesi oven will be used with Natural
GAS. GAS is a DEFRA approved fuel. As the oven is used at a high
temperature there is zero smoke and odours.

Registered office: 47 Bilsborrow Road, Manchester. M14 7TH• Grease – There is zero grease from a pizza oven as there is no
cooking of fatty meats. Due to the temperature and speed of how
the pizza is cooked, 400 C / 60-90 seconds respectively, any sliced
fatty meats do not omit grease into the system.
Supporting document: Odour Assessment APPLICATION NO.
128714FO2020 - 266 Wilmslow Road
Risk assessment and evaluation carried by 2 independent expert ventilation
engineering companies confirm Odour risk assessment as Low so we request this
condition to be considered as satisfied on the planning application.
2. It is advised that mixed use schemes shall ensure provision for internal
ducting in risers that terminate at roof level. Schemes that are outside the
scope of such developments shall ensure that flues terminate at least 1m
above the eave level and/or any openable windows/ventilation intakes of
nearby properties.
Response:
a. Having consulted with engineers from Combi-Vent Engineering LTD and
Exoflue LTD we can confirm in writing that:
• flue extraction to be installed at 266 Wilmslow Road will follow the
industry standard practices and terminate at least 1 meter or above
the eave level and/or any openable windows ventilation intakes of
neighbouring properties.
• We also confirm in writing that installation will ensure provision of
internal ducting in risers that terminate at roof level.
3. The information provided commentary on other premises in the area, however
you to ensure that what you are proposing is in accordance with the EMAQ
guidance mentioned above. Therefore, Environmental Health
cannot comment on the noise assessment until they are satisfied that the
equipment that is being installed is satisfactory. Once we have agreed
exactly what is being installed, the applicant will need to ensure that the
proposed equipment meets the MCC noise requirements.
Response:
a. Below is the list of equipment we propose to install:
• RSV012-4-1, 1400rpm, 0.13 Kw, 0.35amp 240/1/50Hz | 33dB
• KVKE 250M acoustic in-line fan 41dB(A) @3mtrs | 41dB
• 2-No Silencers 250mm dia x 600mm long one for the inlet and one
for the outlet side of the fan
• CVWL-400 Weather Louvre with fly-Screen mesh guard
• CVTWS 400 Telescopic Wall Sleeve
• CVFB-250 Filter box with EU4 filter

Registered office: 47 Bilsborrow Road, Manchester. M14 7TH• CVLFD-450 595mm sq 4-Way Diffuser with plenum box to suit.
b. An acoustics assessment has been carried out by Sound Advice Acoustics
LTD and Exoflue LTD and advises that:
• The fan is very small and directly over the oven. As fan is to be
installed within a boxed in frame, inside the building, the noise
would be contained and not breakout externally
• The acoustics design for the premises has been also provided
• The selected flue fan has a LP sound Pressure level dB(A) at
10mtrs distance from the fan at half spheric sound distribution is 33.

c. Using acoustics report carried out for same equipment installation at our
Rochdale branch as a reference point, we can draw the following
assessments:
• Fan-assessment: The fan is an Exodraft RSV012-4-1. It is entered
as a point source with the sound power levels provided by the
Fireaway Manchester LTD | Company No. 12902924 | VAT No. 359 0335 92 |
Registered office: 47 Bilsborrow Road, Manchester. M14 7THmanufacturer, as copied below. Note that the +/- 3 dB tolerance has
been assumed to be +3dB. Also the source was tested within the
model to check that the overall dB(A) level given in the table at 10m
hemispherical distance was reproduced by placing it on reflective
ground out of the influence of barriers or reflectors. Please note that
the same flu system has been installed in over 60 locations all over
the UK
• Internal Noise At the busiest periods, 17:30 to 20:00 at weekends,
there could be up to four staff inside. It is important to note that it is
not a kitchen as such, with clattering hardware and a frantic
atmosphere. There is a prep area to the rear which is very quiet,
and the oven is towards the counter. It is expected that the main
source of noise will be normal conversational level voices. There
will be capacity for eight customers to be seated, but due to change
in customers’ behaviour due to COVID the business model is
mainly based around delivery and so we do not expect many eat-in
customers.

Registered office: 47 Bilsborrow Road, Manchester. M14 7TH• Taking a pragmatic judgement about the immediate vicinity, it would
seem extremely likely that noise levels will be dominated by the
activities on the from customers visiting the existing businesses,
such as neighbouring restaurants and busy traffic junction. All the
surrounding premises are mainly restaurants and cafes and the
area itself is a busy student area.
Fireaway takes pride in being a socially and environment friendly business.
Consultation from 2 independent and leading engineering companies have
categorised both Odour and Noise as low risk and believe it should satisfy the
conditions attached to the planning permission.
