Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of the amenity of residents of adjacent properties
What decided it
The amendment to allow use until 23:00 on Fridays and Saturdays would have limited effects on surrounding residents while supporting the economic viability of a business providing valuable services to the local community, and would accord with the national definition of night hours under the Noise Act 1996.
Supporting a business which provides valuable services to the local community against the amenity impacts on surrounding residents; the balance tipped in favour of allowing an additional hour on Fridays and Saturdays while maintaining the original restriction on other days.
