Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether Condition 3 is necessary when regard is paid to effects resulting from its removal on living conditions in terms of changes in noise and activity
- Whether Condition 3 is necessary when regard is paid to effects resulting from its removal on the character and appearance of the Wimbledon Broadway Conservation Area
What decided it
The site's location within a busy town centre with existing night-time uses and its distance from main residential concentrations, combined with proposed management conditions, means the removal of the opening hours restriction would not cause material harm to living conditions or the Conservation Area.
