Councillors had heard concerns about the prospect of bad behaviour by drunken customers
City Council confirmed the decision this week, a fortnight after a licensing hearing on the matter took place.Several local residents had objected to the application, as had Rawdon Parish Council.
Speaking at the hearing on September 20, neighbour John Chadwick said: “Basically the main issue is noise. We have cars pulling up and going in for a coffee and restricting my access. And that’s during the day.“To have it on until late at night is not fair in my opinion. You can’t police people when they’ve had alcohol. It will impact our lives.”
Expressing concerns about the prospect of other neighbouring businesses opening late at night, Mr Chadwick added: “We don’t want itThe cafe’s owner, Antonio Pinna, had earlier told the hearing he wanted flexibility to open late occasionally, in response to customer demand.He said: “It doesn’t mean it has to be every single night. It could be once a month or even fortnightly.“It could happen every week or two days a week. Unfortunately it’s unpredictable.
“We had a restaurant which we sold because we have children and we wanted to spend time with them. We don’t want to go back to a restaurant.
