Proposed hours are 6 am to 10 pm every day

Applicant's claimEN-0021

The site has one vehicle entrance and users would be directed away from residential streets

The Scheme lists height, noise, access, landscaping and hours as condition topics

The Scheme allows conditions about building height and design, use and noise, access and parking, landscaping, lighting and operating hours.

What this does not prove: Conditions cannot necessarily cure every problem. The Scheme notes that a condition should not change the nature of the application.
