Planning appeal decision
Mowbrays , 35 High Street, Haxey, Doncaster, DN9 2HH
Planning appeal 3298316 at Mowbrays , 35 High Street, Haxey, Doncaster, DN9 2HH (North Lincolnshire Council) was allowed in part (a split decision) on 12 July 2023 by Inspector Williams K, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the conditions in relation to opening hours and outside seating are necessary and reasonable having regard to the planning history of the site and the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential properties, with particular regard to noise, disturbance and privacy.
Variation of condition 1 to allow opening hours 09:00-17:00 Monday to Saturday (allowed in part); dismissal of variation to allow Sunday opening and removal of condition 3 restricting outside seating

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the conditions in relation to opening hours and outside seating are necessary and reasonable having regard to the planning history of the site and the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential properties, with particular regard to noise, disturbance and privacy
What decided it
The fallback position of the 2013 Permission which had already been granted for 09:00-17:00 Monday to Saturday opening made the Saturday restriction unreasonable, but the proximity of residential properties and potential for noise and privacy harm from Sunday opening and outdoor seating outweighed any community benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S9Policy DS1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 48
