Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
What decided it
The Environmental Health Officer's confirmation that the proposed opening hours would be acceptable, combined with the distance of residential properties from the site and the precedent of other commercial units operating at similar or later times, demonstrated that the extended hours would not harm neighbouring living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 1 (Development Requirements) of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
