Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extended opening hours on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties
What decided it
The close proximity of residential properties to the appeal site and the likelihood that extended opening hours until 01:00am would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers through noise and disturbance during night hours when residents expect quiet.
