Why it was refused
- The proposed extension of the restaurant and drive-thru operating hours until 02:00 hours would result in increased customer activity, vehicle movements, noise, and general disturbance during night-time periods, to the detriment of the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers.
- The submitted information fails to satisfactorily demonstrate that the proposed mitigation measures would be effective in preventing or adequately controlling such impacts. As a result, the proposal would cause unacceptable harm to residential amenity and is therefore contrary to Policy DS4 (High-Quality Design) of the Charnwood Local Plan 2021-2037 and the NPPF 2026, Policy P3 (Living Conditions and Pollution). The adverse impacts of the development would outweigh its benefits, and the proposal therefore fails to constitute sustainable development.
From the council's decision notice.
