Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the opening hours would have on the living conditions of nearby residents with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The absence of any record of complaints to Environmental Health or Planning Enforcement, combined with the Inspector's site observations showing minimal noise from the existing use, the physical separation and screening from residential properties, and the proposed management controls, demonstrated that extended opening hours would not cause unacceptable effects on living conditions.
Plan policies cited: Policy DE1, Policy EN7
