Considering the proximity to sensitive uses, and the proposed capacity of an outdoor patio, the application for the licence should not be granted unless suitable conditions are placed on the licence to prevent impacts on the neighbouring community. This matter is deemed urgent as the deadline to object to the application was August 21, 2019.
