Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the condition restricting opening hours is reasonable and necessary to safeguard the living conditions of occupiers of surrounding residential properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The condition restricting opening hours is reasonable and necessary because the Noise Assessment does not adequately address noise from customer comings and goings, and the proximity of residential properties means that even non-anti-social customer behaviour could result in unacceptable noise and disturbance.
