Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the condition would have on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties in relation to noise and disturbance and the impact upon the character of the surrounding area
What decided it
The extended opening hours would result in unacceptable noise and disturbance to nearby residential occupiers during early morning hours when background noise levels are low, conflicting with Policy SD8 and NPPF aspirations for well-designed places.
