Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposed external terrace on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties, with particular reference to the potential for noise disturbance
What decided it
The noise survey demonstrating that the proposed terrace use would comply with the Council's SPD noise criteria of 39dB at the nearest sensitive receptor, combined with the design features and operational management restrictions limiting use to 8am-11pm with 40 seated persons only, meant the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to living conditions of nearby occupiers.
