Amenity Impacts from Pubs and Nightclubs

Pubs and nightclubs can also generate a loss of amenity due to external noise and disturbance, particularly from customers using beer gardens or external smoking areas, and when leaving the premises late at night. The arrival and departure of delivery lorries, and the loading and unloading of deliveries can also generate noise disturbance. With any proposal for a pub or nightclub the applicant should outline measures to address these issues and to reduce any potential impacts upon neighbouring residents.
