Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the disputed condition as worded on the original permission is necessary in order to ensure satisfactory living conditions at nearby residences having regard to noise

What decided it

The noise impact assessment evidence, unchallenged by the Council, demonstrated that noise emissions from the sheesha lounge would not exceed acceptable thresholds even during extended hours of operation, and the Agent of Change principle placed responsibility for mitigation on the later-built residential development.
