Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupants of Vine Court, with particular regard to noise disturbance and anti-social behaviour

What decided it

The significant and long-lasting harm to the living conditions of nearby residential occupants from noise disturbance and anti-social behaviour arising from extended operating hours in a tightly enclosed street outweighs the limited economic and vitality benefits.
