Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extended opening hours are not consistent with other local takeaways in the vicinity and would have the potential to create additional periods of disturbance, in terms of noise, from the extended operation times of the takeaway, resulting in detriment to the residential amenity of the occupiers of nearby properties. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to Policy S32 of the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) Adopted July 2014.

From the council's decision notice.
