Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the conditions are reasonable and necessary in the interests of safeguarding the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to light spill, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The extension of floodlighting operation hours would not adversely affect neighbouring living conditions regarding light spill, noise and disturbance, and a previous decision had already permitted Sunday operation, making the disputed conditions unreasonable and unnecessary.
