STOCKTON Health Parish Council has lodged “strong objections” to applications for licences for the playing of recorded music and supply of alcohol at a new Japanese restaurant set to open in the village.
Planning permission has already been granted for the Wasabi Tappanyaki restaurant in London Road – despite an objection from the parish council.
Now the restaurant is seeking licences for music, sale of alcohol and the supply of late night refreshments until midnight, Monday to Saturday.
On Sundays, the proposal is for the premises to close at 10pm.
Stockton Heath is the only village in Britain to hold Purple Flag status – which recognises excellence in the management of entertainment areas at night.
The village centre is also covered by a Cumulative Impact Policy which means anyone applying for a new licence is required to prove there will not be an impact on crime, disorder or public nuisance.
The parish council says the premises back onto terraced houses in Gaskell Street, only separated by a narrow access alley. Members believe noise from customers in the early hours of the morning as they leave the 100-seater restaurant will, without doubt, disturb nearby residents and lead to the possibility of an increase in crime and disorder.
