Castle Point Plan Consultation

We’ve set out a bold, community-led strategy for sustainable growth across the Borough. The Castle Point Plan will set out where new development will be allocated, how much affordable housing will be built and more up to 2043.

A further consultation is now open. Please give us your views 

Approval of Food Premises

Some manufacturers handling products of animal origin may need to be approved by the local authority or the Meat Hygiene Service, rather than registered.

Examples of types if premises that are required to be approved by local authorities include:

  • meat processing plants
  • meat preparation plants
  • minced meat processing operations and mechanically separated meat processing plants
  • cold store

If you are uncertain whether your business needs to be approved or registered, or you want to apply for approval of a Food Premises, contact us.
