Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition, as imposed, is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties

What decided it

The proposed extended opening hours would result in a substantial increase in customer movements and associated disturbance at times when neighbouring residents are at home, which would be harmful to living conditions despite not constituting a statutory noise nuisance.
