Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension of the opening hours of the tearoom until 22:00, on no more than 12 days in any calendar year, having regard to the proximity of residential properties an d the existing level and pattern of activity associated with Damhouse and its access and parking areas, would result in evening activity, including customer arrivals and departures, vehicle movements, noise and general disturbance. The cumulative effect of this additional activity at Damhouse would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions and residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CP17: Environmental Protection of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strateg y, Policy JP -S1: Sustainable Development of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and Policy P3: Living conditions and pollution of the National Planning Policy Framework. Statement under Article 31 (1) (cc) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2010 (as amended)

From the council's decision notice.
