Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect that varying the opening hours would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties on High Street, Wignall Road and Shelford Road, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The Noise Impact Assessment, supported by the absence of contrary technical evidence from the Council and the proposed mitigation measures including a 12-month trial period, demonstrated that the extended opening hours would be unlikely to cause significant disturbance to neighbouring residents.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy CSP1 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Core Spatial Strategy (2006-2026)

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
