Oliver Houghton, owner of the Crow's Nest Bar in Clayton-le-Moors, is applying to Hyndburn Council for a backdated change of use to public house after operating the venue as a bar contrary to its restaurant planning permission, following complaints from neighbours about noise and nuisance.
The owner of a township bar is seeking to regularise the planning status of his venue after complaints from neighbours. In July last year Oliver Houghton opened the Crow’s Nest Bar in Clayton-le-Moors.
The application form said: “We have always operated as a bar. Our customer base is usually middle age to older and we have plenty of seating. “It would be a great shame if we weren’t approved or had to change how we operate as we find we have given people of Clayton-le-Moors a new space for them to socialise and we have been told it has helped many people with their mental health due to the games nights we offer which brings in people that wouldn’t usually feel comfortable in coming out. We don’t operate as a club, or a dancing venue though you might get the odd person out of their seat.
A Hyndburn Council spokesman said: “We are aware of complaints relating to noise nuisance and are in communication with both the person responsible on site and local residents. We have since received a retrospective change of use application for the site.The bar employs one full-time worker and two part-time staff.
