Right, so this old friend of mine lost his job, so he wants to open a shop.

So he submitted his application and the council sent him the attached document and he needs to supply the requested info.

This is a long shot, but has any of you done this before?

Also WTF is "departures"?

I am sure they are talking about the traffic impact of opening his establishment
Off Street parking

All I can think of is that departure actually means deviation.

e.g
Land use departure: changing of the use of a property, e.g from residential to business
land is zoned for X residential and now you want to use it for X residential + Y business.

departure for the street building line : if you want to build over the (think 5m) building line on a property

departure for building line: if you want to build over the (think 2m) building line on a property

so what shop you opening ..
LOL, why would I take that upon me? :)

But to answer your question he wants open a normal spaza shop type thing from his house. TBH I never thought these kind of things were this formalized. I always thought people just go "I need some extra cash" then start selling schitt :D

This is the easy but not legal way, legal way is to empty your wallet for licences/rezoning etc.
