KBR15: NIGHT-TIME AND EARLY MORNING USES IN OR ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS

New night-time entertainment and related uses should be directed to the International Shopping Centre to minimise impact on residential areas and demonstrate that individually and cumulatively there are no significant adverse effects on other uses that are sensitive to noise (including those adjoining the Knightsbridge Neighbourhood Area).

Proposals for new (including a change of use to) cafés and restaurants (Class A3), public houses, bars and other drinking establishments (Class A4) and hotfood takeaways (Class A5) adjacent to residential areas must demonstrate that they will have no adverse impact on residential amenity.

In residential areas, renewal or change of use proposals for retail and commercial activity (Classes A1, A2, B1c, B2 and B8) or the intensification of existing such uses will only be supported if: they will have no significant adverse impact on residential amenity; and there is a condition attached to the permission prohibiting their operation between 11pm and 7am on Monday to Saturday inclusive and before 7.30am and after 10.30pm on Sunday.

This policy is not applicable to changes of use permissible under the General Permitted Development Order.
