Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the disputed condition would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed extended opening hours would result in an unacceptable level of noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents at unsocial hours, and the benefits of the scheme would be substantially outweighed by these adverse effects.
The substantial economic benefits of the scheme were outweighed by the unacceptable impact on the living conditions of neighbouring residents resulting from increased noise and disturbance
