Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with specific regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed outdoor seating area would create a new source of noise and disturbance from patrons that would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers, particularly during late evening hours when ambient noise levels are lower.
