RESOLVED: (Yes: 10 No: 2)

That the application be refused for the following reason:

1.    The submission fails to demonstrate that internal and external use of the premises by virtue of noise, increased use and activity associated with a drinking establishment (Class A4) would not have an adverse impact on the amenities of neighbouring properties. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies B1(c) and G17(a) of the South Ribble Local Plan, Policy G17(c & d) of the Central Lancashire Core Strategy.
