December 20, 20214 yr comment_22971 Hi I want to open a sandwich takeaway shop but the premises only has one door to enter and exit would this be an issue Report
December 23, 20214 yr comment_23002 Assuming that the distance from the back of the shop to the front door doesn't exceed around 18m and you aren't planning to have more than 60 people inside it isn't a problem. Report
January 19, 20224 yr comment_23430 What if the distance is around 22, how much people can I have inside the shop? Report
January 23, 20224 yr comment_23517 22m means you should really have a back door! It's too far for a single exit under current guidance - however the draft of new guidance for small premises looks like it will increase the maximum distance to 25m so I wouldn't worry too much. A single exit is still a maximum of 60. Your floor area matters too - for every 1 sq.m. of dining area you can have 1 person, for every 0.7 sq.m. of queuing space you can have 1 person - in a small premises this may limit you to less than the 60 your exit allows.
