Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is the effect of the proposed changes on the living conditions of surrounding occupiers, having particular regard to noise and disturbance.
What decided it
The appellant failed to satisfactorily demonstrate, through the noise evidence submitted, that extending beer garden hours and earlier delivery times would not harm the living conditions of nearby residents.
The benefits of extended trading hours and earlier deliveries for the pub and its patrons were outweighed by the unresolved uncertainty over harm to the living conditions of surrounding residents, particularly on Lyndon Avenue.
