Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether condition No.1 is reasonable and necessary and if so the effect of the longer opening hours sought by the Appellant on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The longer opening hours sought would result in additional noise and disturbance at times when background noise levels are lowest and nearby residents are entitled to expect peace and quiet, causing significant harm to living conditions that is not outweighed by the limited economic and social benefits claimed.

The economic and social benefits of the longer opening hours were accorded limited weight and did not outweigh the significant harm to the living conditions of nearby residents from additional noise and disturbance.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy EN11 of the Spelthorne Core Strategy & Development Plan Document
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 55Paragraph 127Paragraph 180Paragraph 190Paragraph 191Paragraph 192
