Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of premises within proximity in terms of noise and general disturbance
  • the loss of an industrial unit/employment land

What decided it

The unacceptable adverse impact on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers in terms of noise and disturbance caused by the operation of the premises as a nightclub and mixed-use venue during unsocial hours, which could not be adequately controlled through conditions.
