Refused

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised refusal because the bar would cause significant noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents.
  • A neighbour objected over privacy, noise, parking, late opening, alcohol and effects on quality of life; supporters also addressed the committee.
  • The committee resolved to refuse the application in accordance with the recommendation.
