Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The additional hour of opening would cause significant noise and disturbance to nearby residential properties, particularly from extraction equipment, which could not be adequately mitigated by the proposed measures.
The business benefits to the appellant were outweighed by the harm to the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers from noise and disturbance.
