Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether Condition No. 5 is reasonable and necessary in the interest of protecting the living conditions of occupants of properties on Boughton Hall Avenue, Boundary Court, Boughton Hall Drive and Hunts Close, with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The original condition was unreasonably restrictive compared to the permitted use of the adjacent clubhouse, and the approved noise management scheme's prohibition on amplified sound and music in the marquee meant extended hours would not materially increase noise disturbance to neighbouring residents.
