Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying conditions would have on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby dwellings, with specific regard to noise
  • The effect that varying conditions would have on the character and appearance of the area, with particular reference to the Cotswold National Landscape

What decided it

The absence of sufficiently robust evidence demonstrating that increased event frequency and extended operational hours would not unacceptably disturb nearby residents through noise, particularly during summer evenings, necessitated retention of the original operational restrictions despite the appellant's business case.
