Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition No. 4 restricting operating hours is reasonable and necessary and whether the proposed revised opening hours would safeguard the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and odour disturbance
- The effect on the character of the local area, with particular regard to litter
What decided it
The absence of detailed noise and odour assessment evidence, combined with the proximity to residential neighbours and the likelihood of disturbance during sleeping hours, meant the proposed extended operating hours would not safeguard the living conditions of neighbouring residents.
