What decided it
The material change in the pattern and nature of car park use from serving club patrons to attracting customers who linger while ordering, waiting for and consuming food would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residential properties through noise, disturbance, loss of privacy and cooking odours, contrary to CDP Policies 29, 30 and 31.
