Night Time and Late Night Uses

    Contains Options

The term ‘night-time economy’ is used to describe a wide range of night-time and late-night uses including bars, pubs, nightclubs, as well as non-alcohol led uses such as theatres, restaurants, casinos, bowling alleys and cinemas. Together, these types of uses are key in contributing towards a thriving and successful city with a diverse range of leisure activities.  

To ensure that the city’s night-time economy develops in a safe, balanced and socially inclusive way, the Council will seek to ensure new and expanded premises are appropriately located and have thoroughly considered the potential impacts of comings and goings both at the venue itself and in the wider local area, noise, disturbance and safety, to ensure they will not cause unacceptable harm to their users or to the amenity of nearby residents. Whilst such proposals will be supported where possible, site-specific planning conditions may be required to manage potentially harmful impacts.
