Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed extended opening hours on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The Inspector could not be satisfied that the proposed noise control measures would ensure that the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties would not be adversely affected by the proposed extended opening hours, particularly given the difficulty of enforcing compliance with conditions such as window closure and the inability to control patron behaviour outside the establishment.
