Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal condition is necessary to protect the living conditions of occupants of adjoining premises in terms of noise and disturbance
What decided it
The existing condition restricting external seating is not necessary because the limited size of the rear yard, its location adjoining mainly commercial premises, the precedent of approved smoking shelter use, and a 10 pm closing time condition would sufficiently mitigate any noise and disturbance to nearby residents.
