TLC5 MANAGING THE IMPACT OF FOOD, DRINK AND ENTERTAINMENT USES
Planning permissions for use class A3, A4 and A5 food and drink establishments as well as arts, culture, entertainment and leisure uses will be subject to conditions controlling hours of operation, as follows:
- except in predominantly commercial areas, such as parts of town centres – premises shall not be open to customers later than the hour of 23:00; and
- within predominantly commercial areas, such as parts of town centres – premises shall not be open to customers later than the hour of 24:00.
Extended opening may be permitted where:
- the activities would not be likely to cause impact especially on local residents, and that, if there is potential to cause adverse impact, appropriate measures will be put in place to prevent it; and
- there will not be any increase in the cumulative impact from these or similar activities, on an adjacent residential area; and
- there is a high level of public transport accessibility to and from the premises at appropriate times; and
- the activity will not be likely to lead to a demonstrable increase in car parking demand in surrounding residential streets and roads forming part of the Strategic London Road Network or the London Bus Priority Network.
In addition, subject to the location of the proposals, the council will consider the type of activities appropriate to the class A3, A4 and A5 premises, and apply conditions on uses where these are appropriate.
Where a use will impact on local amenity, the council may also set an appropriate start time.
