Pizza Hut has successfully applyied to extend delivery hours at their Lincoln North branch on West Parade.

Before deciding whether HUHRA should comment on the application, we contacted the City of Lincoln Council's Licensing Officer. He confirmed that there had been no licence reviews, enforcement action or substantiated complaints relating to the premises. He also checked with the Public Protection and Anti-Social Behaviour Team, who confirmed they had never received any complaints about the premises either.

During the statutory consultation, no objections or comments were submitted by neighbouring residents.

In the absence of any local objections, together with no history of complaints or evidence of public nuisance, HUHRA did not feel it was appropriate to object on residents' behalf

Outcome

The planning application was assessed by the Council's planning officer, who concluded that the proposed delivery hours would not result in unacceptable noise or disturbance. Lincolnshire County Council, as Highway Authority, also raised no objections on highway safety grounds.

The application was therefore approved, subject to a number of conditions.

The approved operating hours are:

• Customer collections: 9.00am–11.00pm every day.

• Deliveries: 9.00am–2.00am Monday to Saturday, and 9.00am–midnight on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

• Waste collections: 7.00am–7.00pm, Monday to Saturday only.
