Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the opening hours would have on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The absence of substantive evidence demonstrating that other late-night uses in the area have caused unacceptable noise and disturbance, combined with no recorded complaints from the Council's Environmental Protection consultee, led the Inspector to conclude that extending opening hours to 02:00 would not harm neighbouring occupiers' living conditions.
