Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the opening hours of the appeal premises would have on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers
What decided it
The presence of other licensed premises operating beyond 0230 hours with closer relationships to residential properties, combined with the absence of complaints about the existing operation and insufficient evidence of disproportionate harm, justified varying the opening hours condition.
the protection of existing night-time economy businesses from unreasonable restrictions outweighed the potential for some noise and disturbance from extended opening hours, particularly given comparable licensed premises nearby and the availability of premises licensing controls
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 49 of the Hull Local Plan 2016 to 2032
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
