The Planning Committee declined the officer's recommendation for temporary permission, finding the one-hour extension would result in increased noise and disturbance harming nearby residents' amenity.…
General Policy 2
Requires development in zoning not to adversely affect amenity of local residents or character of locality (g), and to take account of community/personal safety/security (m). Officer assessed proposal as marginal impact in shopping zone but Committee found it would harm residential amenity and safety due to noise/disturbance/crime risks from extended hours.
Community Policy 7
Requires new development/extension to pay due regard to best practice preventing criminal/anti-social behaviour. Officer noted two approaches to night-time economy (disperse vs concentrate) but Police ALO evidenced 'honey pot' effect; Committee agreed extension would increase antisocial/criminal potential, failing policy.
takeaway staff keep area clean and tidy; extension will not change litter/noise approach
