1 Introduction

1.1 This note reviews the requirement for an odour abatement system at the catering facilities at the

proposed Quest Academy, located off Anderson Avenue and Long Furlong in Rugby. One of the

planning conditions for the proposed academy, as stipulated by Warwickshire County Council,

relates to odours, and states that:

“An odour assessment for plant, machinery and waste facilities associated with the catering

facilities located on the site shall be undertaken by a suitably qualified consultant and incorporate

recommendations where necessary to ensure no significant adverse impacts on existing

residential properties neighbouring the site. The odour assessment shall have been submitted to

and approved in writing by the County Planning Authority before any of these facilities are first

installed on site. Any works required by the odour assessment shall be installed before these

features are first brought into use and any measures required to be taken after use begins (or any

alternative measures subsequently approved in writing by the County Planning Authority) shall be

taken at all times.”

1.2 A plan showing the location of the Quest Academy is shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1: Location of Proposed Quest Academy Building

2 Assessment of the Requirement for Odour Control

2.1 EMAQ’s Guidance on the ‘Control of Odour and Noise from Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Systems’

(EMAQ, 2018) contains an assessment procedure for identifying the potential risk of odour impacts

from commercial kitchen operations. The results of this risk assessment can be used to determine

a suitable level of odour abatement to be installed into a commercial kitchen.

2.2 However, the guidance is clear that “a planner may take a pragmatic view when assessing whether

certain low risk kitchens require any odour abatement to be fitted”, and that “in reaching this

decision the planner may also consider the nature of the food being cooked and/or the size of the

kitchen and/or its location”.

2.3 The proposed kitchen will not cook any food; meals will be brought into the school from an external

source. As a result, there will be no requirement for any dedicated extraction system in the

canteen, and the odour generation of the development is thus judged to be insignificant.

2.4 It is therefore judged that no odour abatement system will be required at the catering facilities at

the proposed Quest Academy school, and that the risk of adverse impacts at nearby sensitive

properties will be insignificant.

1 Introduction

1.1 This report sets out an odour risk assessment for the proposed kitchen extraction flue system

which will serve the catering facilities at the proposed Rugby Free Secondary School, located off

Anderson Avenue and Long Furlong in Rugby. One of the planning conditions for the proposed

school, as stipulated by Warwickshire County Council, relates to odours, and states that:

“An odour assessment for plant, machinery and waste facilities associated with the catering

facilities located on the site shall be undertaken by a suitably qualified consultant and incorporate

recommendations where necessary to ensure no significant adverse impacts on existing

residential properties neighbouring the site. The odour assessment shall have been submitted to

and approved in writing by the County Planning Authority before any of these facilities are first

installed on site. Any works required by the odour assessment shall be installed before these

features are first brought into use and any measures required to be taken after use begins (or any

alternative measures subsequently approved in writing by the County Planning Authority) shall be

taken at all times.”

1.2 This report describes the methodology and findings of the odour risk assessment, and identifies

the level of odour abatement that is necessary to minimise the risk of odour impacts at nearby

properties resulting from the operation of the kitchen.

2 Odour Assessment

2.1 EMAQ’s Guidance on the ‘Control of Odour and Noise from Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Systems’

(EMAQ, 2018) contains an assessment procedure for identifying the potential risk of odour impacts

from commercial kitchen operations. The results of this risk assessment can be used to determine

a suitable level of odour abatement to be installed into a commercial kitchen.

2.2 The risk assessment for odours is split into the following four parts:

dispersion;

proximity to receptors;

size of kitchen; and

cooking type and grease loading.

2.3 Each part is given a risk rating score and the total risk rating denotes the level of odour abatement

which is likely to be required to prevent the kitchens from causing odour nuisance impacts. The

following sections of this report outline each part of the risk assessment in relation to the proposed

kitchen.



2.4 Where assumptions have been made these are clearly stated in the risk assessment and are

based on the professional experience of Air Quality Consultants Ltd (see Appendix 1).

Dispersion

2.5 The risk rating for dispersion relates to the conditions under which kitchen extraction emissions are

discharged. The relevant risk ratings described in the guidance are shown below. The risk score

is shown in parentheses.

VERY POOR (20) – Low level discharge, discharge into courtyard, or restriction on stack;

POOR (15) – Discharge not low level, but below eaves, or discharge rate below 10 m/s;

MODERATE (10) – Discharging 1 m above eaves at a rate of 10-15 m/s; or

GOOD (5) – Discharging 1 m above ridge at a rate of 15 m/s or more.

2.6 The risk rating for dispersion for the proposed kitchen is judged to be MODERATE. The proposed

flue system will discharge cooking odours at a height of 13.5 m above ground level, and

approximately 0.5 m above the roof of the supporting building. The design efflux velocity of the

flue system is 4.1 m/s; whilst it is recognised that this is lower than the velocity required to achieve

a ‘Moderate’ risk rating, it is of AQC’s professional judgement that a rating of ‘Poor’ or ‘Very Poor’

would be overly conservative in this instance. A plan showing the design of the kitchen extract flue

is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Kitchen Extract Flue Design

Contains data from BAM Design Ltd Drawing No. RFS-BMD-XX-XX-DR-A-12014 revision P09.



Proximity to Receptors

2.7 The risk rating for proximity to receptors relates to the distance between the point of discharge of

kitchen emissions and the nearest sensitive receptor locations. Sensitive receptor locations may

be residential properties, commercial premises or frequently used public open spaces. The

relevant risk ratings described in the guidance are shown below. The risk score is shown in

parentheses. For the purpose of this assessment, it is assumed that the proposed developments

are occupied.

CLOSE (10) – Closest sensitive receptor is less than 20 m from kitchen discharge;

MEDIUM (5) – Closest sensitive receptor is between 20 and 100 m from kitchen discharge;

or

FAR (1) – Closest sensitive receptor is more than 100 m from kitchen discharge.

2.8 The risk rating for the proximity to sensitive properties is judged to be FAR; the proposed flue will

discharge kitchen odours more than 100 m from the nearest residential properties (the nearest

residential property is located approximately 105 m southwest of the flue). The location of the flue

in relation to nearby residential properties is shown in Figure 2.



Figure 2: Location of Proposed Kitchen Extract Flue

Size of Kitchen

2.9 The risk rating for size of kitchen relates to the volume of food prepared by the kitchen and is

described in terms of the capacity of the restaurant or take-away. The relevant risk ratings

described in the guidance are shown below. The risk score is shown in parentheses.

LARGE (5) – More than 100 covers1 or a large-sized take-away;

MEDIUM (3) – Between 30 and 100 covers or a medium-sized take-away; or

SMALL (1) – Less than 30 covers or a small take-away.

2.10 The canteen can cater for a maximum of 540 students, and is therefore considered to be a LARGE

1 A cover refers to a single person being served at any one time.



sized kitchen. However, it should be noted that there will only be one sitting per day, lasting for

approximately 40 minutes.

Cooking Type and Grease Loading

2.11 The risk rating for cooking type and grease loading relates to the type of cooking methods

employed in the kitchen and the type of food prepared. The relevant risk ratings described in the

guidance are shown below. The risk score is shown in parentheses.

VERY HIGH (10) – Pubs (high level of fried food), fried chicken, burgers or fish and chips.

Turkish, Middle Eastern or any premises cooking with solid fuel;

HIGH (7) – Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Steakhouse;

MEDIUM (4) – Cantonese, Italian, French, Pizza (gas fired); or

LOW (1) – Most pubs (no fried food, mainly reheating and sandwiches, etc.), tea rooms.

2.12 The kitchen will prepare a varied mix of food, including curries, spiced food, Mexican food and fish

and chips. The grease loading of the extraction system will therefore be highly variable depending

upon the type of food being cooked. Based upon the guidance, and to represent a conservative

assessment, the risk for the cooking type and grease loading is judged to be HIGH.



Risk Assessment Summary

2.13 The odour risk assessment summary is shown in Table 1 for the kitchen.

TOTAL RATING

High 23 The kitchen should employ a High level of odour control.

1 Total Risk Score of <20 = Low to Medium Risk, 20 to 35 = High Risk; and >35 = Very High Risk.

2.14 The overall odour risk rating of the canteen is ‘High’. This denotes that it would require a high level

of odour control to eliminate the risk of odour impacts at the nearby residential properties.

2.15 However, the guidance is clear that “a planner may take a pragmatic view when assessing whether

certain low risk kitchens require any odour abatement to be fitted”, and that “in reaching this

decision the planner may also consider the nature of the food being cooked and/or the size of the

kitchen and/or its location”.

2.16 In light of the above, a ‘High’ level of odour control is judged to be excessive for controlling odour

emissions from the kitchen. The kitchen will only operate to serve a single, 40-minute sitting each

day, and is assumed to not be operational in the evening or on weekends. Furthermore, the

extract flue, which is located over 100 m from the nearest residential property, will discharge

odours at 13.5 m above ground level; this is considerably higher than the opening windows of the

nearest properties which are approximately 4 to 6 m above ground level. It is therefore judged that

a ‘Low’ level of odour control is sufficient in this instance, and will adequately abate odours to a

level which will not result in a loss of amenity to nearby residents.



Recommended Odour Abatement System

2.17 This section of the report briefly outlines the odour control measures that would need to be

installed on the kitchen extract system to provide optimal odour abatement and minimise the risk of

odour impacts at nearby residential properties.

2.18 The odour control measures suggested are those recommended within EMAQ’s guidance on

odours from commercial kitchens (EMAQ, 2018) for kitchens with a ‘Low to Medium’ odour risk

assessment score.

2.19 The guidance outlines that abatement systems that offer a ‘Low to Medium’ level of odour control

may include:

“1. Fine filtration or electrostatic precipitation (ESP) followed by carbon filtration (carbon filters

rated with a 0.1 second residence time).

2. Fine filtration followed by counteractant/neutralising system to achieve the same level of control

as 1.”

2.20 In addition to this, the guidance states that the flue shall:

“1. Discharge the extracted air not less than 1 m above the roof ridge of any building within 15 m

of the vent serving the commercial kitchen. Additional odour control measures may still be

required depending on the cooking type and frequency.

2. If 1 cannot be complied with for planning reasons, then the extracted air shall be discharged not

less than 1 m above the roof eaves or dormer window of the building housing the commercial

kitchen. A higher level of odour control measures than those required in part 1 may be required.

3. If 1 or 2 cannot be complied with for planning reasons, then higher levels of odour control

measures than those required in part 1 or 2 may be required.”

2.21 The extract flue design is judged to be compliant with the requirements set out in Paragraph 2.20,

and it is thus judged that an increased level of odour control is not required for the proposed

kitchen.



3 Odour Abatement System

3.1 In accordance with the recommended odour abatement systems identified in Paragraph 2.19, the

following odour abatement system has been identified as the most effective and feasible option

that is required at the proposed kitchen. It is judged that the system identified in Table 2 will offer a

suitable level of odour abatement to minimise the potential for odour impacts at the nearby

residential properties.

3.2 It should also be noted that the odour abatement system should be designed and installed by a

suitably qualified contractor, and that the system is operated and serviced to ensure that optimal

odour abatement performance is maintained during the kitchen’s operation.

4 Summary

4.1 The potential for odour impacts at nearby residential properties as a result of the operation of a

kitchen extraction system at the proposed Rugby Free Secondary School have been assessed.

4.2 It is recommended that both particulate filtration/ESP and carbon filtration be installed on the

extract system to remove particles and residual odours from the airstream.

4.3 Provided that a sufficient level of odour abatement is installed on the proposed extraction system

which meets the minimum requirements for odour control as set out in this report, the risk of

adverse odour impacts at nearby residential dwellings is judged to be insignificant.
