Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that proposed opening times (0700-2200 weekdays, 0700-1900 weekends) would have on the living conditions of neighbouring residents located in the flats above, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The appellant's willingness to accept 0700 opening on weekdays (rather than 0600 sought), combined with proposed noise mitigation measures to be formalised in a Management Plan, satisfied the Inspector that this would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions, whilst the maintenance of 0800 opening on weekends appropriately protected amenity during periods when residents were more likely to be sleeping.
