The occupiers of the proposed new flats adjacent to the existing beer garden would experience poor levels of amenity due to noise and general disturbance from customers using this outdoor facility. This would be contrary to policy CS2 of the adopted Charnwood Local Plan 2011 to 2028 Core Strategy which seeks to protect the amenity of those who live in new developments.

The proposed development fails to provide a sufficient number of parking spaces to serve both the residential and public house uses. This shortfall, combined with the proposed bin storage and collection facilities, will result in poor levels of amenity for future residents who may find it difficult to park safely within the development due to competition for spaces, and be detrimental to the amenity of existing neighbouring residents and uses in the locality. This would be contrary to policy CS2 of the adopted Charnwood Local Plan 2011 to 2028 Core Strategy which seeks to protect the amenity of those who live or work nearby and those who will live in new developments, and saved policy TR/18 of the Borough of Charnwood Local Plan which states that planning permission should not be granted for development unless sufficient off street parking is included to minimise harm to local amenity.
