Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether disputed conditions 4 and 16 are necessary or reasonable in respect of safeguarding the living conditions of neighbours
  • Whether disputed conditions 4 and 16 are necessary or reasonable in respect of highway safety

What decided it

Condition 4 was unreasonable as it prevented the use of the function suite which was expressly approved in the development description, whereas a properly enforced Noise Management Plan could adequately protect neighbours' amenity; condition 16 was retained because the additional hour of music would cause unacceptable late-night noise disturbance.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy SD1, Policy RA6, Policy MT1, Policy LU9
