Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance.

What decided it

With appropriate conditions restricting use to Thursday-Saturday 11am-9pm, prohibiting amplified music, and requiring a comprehensive management plan, the noise and disturbance impacts would be unlikely to give rise to significant adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions, thereby supporting the town centre and visitor economy.
