Planning Requirements for Public House Extensions
Extensions to public houses require planning permission regardless of size, and the council will assess impacts of intensified use on the surrounding area, including effects on access, parking, noise, and disturbance.
A proposed extension to a public house requires planning permission regardless of the size of that extension. When considering such extensions, account will be taken of the likely effects of the intensification of the existing use on the surrounding area. For example, the suitability of any existing access and parking facilities to accommodate additional customers will be carefully considered, as well as any loss of amenity due to an increase in noise and disturbance.
