Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether Conditions 3 and 4 are necessary and reasonable to protect the living conditions of the residential occupiers of 39 High Street, regarding noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed extended opening hours and removal of the outdoor seating area restrictions would unacceptably diminish the periods when nearby residential occupiers could reasonably expect respite from noise and disturbance, contrary to development plan policies protecting residential amenity.
