Cooking Smells HELP!

Hi Everyone,
I really need some advice here. A new bubble tea shop opened in my apartment block on the ground floor. We ended up reporting them to the council as they were frying meat and the smell was coming from their kitchen through an adjoining door and flooding the communal corridor. The council investigated and removed some domestic fryers and the smells has now changed to a batter/pancake smell. The council returned and found a waffle maker which they are allowed to use but the smell still floods the corridor! Planning can no longer do anything and as its flooding a communal area environmental health/odour control cant as its not entering my apartment. Any ideas anyone?

The landlord company that owns the freehold of your property and their property will have rights in the lease to prevent a breach of the lease which this could potentially be. You as owners will need to indemnify the landlord in relation to action taken against that tenant. (ie pay). That's your remedy0

Was the location of the tea shop already a catering business? If it wasn't did they have to apply for change of use?
Do you own or rent your apartment? If you rent then moving is probably the easiest solution, but obviously not so simple if you own.0 -
Waffle smell? Sounds lovely!0

There is a landlord for the unit or rents out the unit to the Chinese bubble tea shop0

waffles = batter = frying = grease & oil = not very lovely, day in day out.0 -
Was there really a need for another thread on this, you would have been better carrying on with your original. Perhaps you could PM a board guide to have them merged?

You own your flat leasehold, and the retail unit will also be leasehold. I'd be bringing it to the attention of the freeholder/headlease-holder.0

They are aware however its classed as reheating thus there is little that can be done
