Both representations from interested persons indicated concerns under the prevention of public nuisance licensing objective. The interested parties did not attend the meeting.

The rear patio area could often be noisy, the resident also commented that should the licence application be granted, the chances were that noise levels would become even more obtrusive and disturbing for residents within the immediate vicinity.
