Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether restricting the use of the external area to no later than 2000 hours is necessary having regard to the living conditions of nearby residents and those staying in tourist accommodation in Bank Street
What decided it
The measured noise data showing a reduction in both average minimum and maximum noise levels from 2000 to 2300 hours, combined with 2200 hours being a reasonable time for background noise reduction, justified extending hours beyond 2000 hours but not to the full 2300 hours requested.
