I was going from this quote from the article I linked to:
> Cllr Mark Williams, cabinet member for regeneration and new homes, said: “The council is concerned by Deliveroo’s use of the Valmar Road trading estate as their kitchen pods are close to people’s homes, are clearly disturbing the residents and they didn’t apply for the necessary planning permission.
> “We have served a planning enforcement notice that requires Deliveroo to stop preparing and delivering food from the site. We encourage them to work with us and listen to local residents so that we can find a long-term solution.” Southwark is also investigating the setup of three Deliveroo pods in a car park in east Dulwich.
But yeah, I'd anticipate a temporary construction would be regulated differently. How temporary are these though? (in anything other than a "if the locals get a bit too bothersome, we'll move it to a different borough" sense).
- contingencies 9y agoIf it doesn't have foundations and/or simply floats on a slab, it's generally considered temporary. I wonder about the utilities, though. The more you have connected, the less argument you have for temporary. The mention of gas bottles suggest they're playing this smart.
- FireBeyond 9y ago> The mention of gas bottles suggest they're playing this smart. Or that a gas company has zero interest in (or desire to?) establish a gas line to a shipping container, let alone one with an industrial kitchen in it.
- contingencies 9y agoPerhaps. Actually I was referring to the possible use of portable gas vs. electricity. In the top image it seems the left-side container may be an emergency power unit with fuel based generators.
- timthelion 9y agoStrange that the kitchen would disturb them, but not the highway above the kitchen.
