Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect that varying the opening hours and the approved plans would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • the effect that varying the approved plans would have on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect that varying the approved plans would have on highway safety, with particular regard to emergency access

What decided it

The proposed 6am weekday opening would create unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring residential properties at a sensitive time, contrary to Policies 37 and 119 of the Bromley Local Plan and Policies D3, D13 and D14 of the London Plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy 37 of the Bromley Local Plan 2019, Policy 119 of the Bromley Local Plan 2019, Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021, Policy D4 of the London Plan 2021, Policy D13 of the London Plan 2021, Policy D14 of the London Plan 2021, Policy 30 of the Bromley Local Plan, Policy T6 of the London Plan
