Why it was refused

  1. The proposed variation of condition to extend the approved opening hours would result in an unacceptable intensification of the use, leading to increased noise and disturbance arising from music, customer activity, dispersal, servicing and the use of external areas particularly, during late evening and night-time periods. This would be detrimental to the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers, given the proximity of sensitive receptors and the cumulative impact of other nearby licensed premises. In the absence of a supporting noise assessment, mitigation strategy or operational management plan, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal could operate without giving rise to unacceptable harm to residential amenity. The Local Planning Authority is not satisfied, based on the information submitted, that the impacts of the extended hours can be appropriately controlled. As such, the proposal is contrary to saved Policy GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006) and policy contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
