Following this, the objector, Monmouthshire County Council’s Environmental Health Department’s representative outlined the following points:

 

·         On 8th February 2022 the Environmental Health Department submitted an objection against the premise license application for Llanvetherine Court as it was considered that there was insufficient information to confirm licensing objective D, the prevention of public nuisance, particularly in terms of noise would be complied with.

 

·         The applicant has provided a Noise Impact Assessment.  However, having reviewed the content and further considered the application as a whole, the Environmental Health Department’s objection to the application stands.

 

·         Concerns remain that compliance with the prevention of public nuisance licensing objective will not be met.  In particular, noise from the application site has the potential to cause disturbance to residents in the area and result in subsequent complaint.

 

·         This is due to the proposed hours outlined in the report, with a plan to hold multi-day events on most weekends, particularly between the 1st April and mid-September 2022 and the concerns of the cumulative impact on residents in the locality from events both at the Barn, which is subject to this license application, and to the wider Llanvetherine Court site, where five additional larger scale music festivals are planned for 2022 as the site continues to develop. 

 

·         The application site is in a rural setting with the nearest dwelling about 190 metres away.  There are other dwellings, some with businesses, that surround the site at varying distances  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2.
