Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular reference to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The imposition of conditions limiting operating hours to 21:00 and prohibiting amplified music and screens on the terrace, combined with the physical separation of the terrace from the bar's main activities and the expectation of some noise in a town centre location, would not result in harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy QE DM1, Policy QE SP1
