Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the variation of condition 4 to allow extended opening hours would harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The Noise Management Plan and additional condition restricting amplified sound after 2230 hours, combined with the Council's agreement and Environmental Health Officer's acceptance of the proposal, demonstrated that extended opening hours would not harm neighbouring living conditions and would accord with relevant policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy D1 of the Thanet Local Plan

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
