Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance late at night and during the early hours of the morning

What decided it

The imposition of conditions restricting the occupation of the first floor flat to staff members, requiring doors and windows to be closed during amplified or live music, and specifying opening hours would appropriately mitigate noise and disturbance impacts on neighbouring residents' living conditions.

The benefits of regularising the use and permitting extended opening hours aligned with other town centre establishments were balanced against concerns about noise and disturbance, with the balance tipped in favour of the proposal through the imposition of protective conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy ST1 of the Ashfield Local Plan Review (2002)
