Near a public house. Would you expect a degree of noise.. more than you'd get in a cul de sac.?
A local pub to me used to have live music Saturday's, I called in earlier this week for a glass of shandy for the first time in a while to find there wasn't a band on this weekend.. I asked the barmaid why and she said that 'a resident' from the new estate had complained about the noise so they either had to stop or they'd be fined.. the bands always finish before 11.
The pub part of it dates to the 1600's the newest bits to the 1800's so it's been there was before the estate circa 2003. |

I used to live on the Main Street of a town, I had pubs, bars, take aways and restaurants all around me. Never once complained, it’s to be expected. Only ever phoned the police once but that was because a shop was getting broken into |

More to that I’d have thought. EH will investigate and if noise is unreasonable or at odd hours, they’ll put restrictions eg must be finished by a set time or kept below a certain decibel level. The wouldn’t just say no music, ever and that’s that. They recognise the right to run a business too. |

From what I can understand the complaints were during the summer when the windows and doors were open because it was stifling hot.. |

We lost our village football team due to someone moving in and complaining about the noise on game and training days.
They moved directly overlooking a football pitch what did they expect?
It’s like people who complain about church bells. Saddos |

I can understand if the music was really loud every single night until the wee hours of the morning, because then it’s possibly affecting your sleep. But still... |

I run a venue and let me tell you that local residents are the biggest threat to the live music scene there has ever been.
Landlords/property owners are not honest with prospective buyers about nearby venues, skimp on soundproofing and are converting more and more industrial buildings in built up areas near existing venues. HOWEVER. If you move to an area where there is a venue already in place, I have no sympathy for you whatsoever. Do your research. Find out about the area you are looking to move to, particularly if it is in a built up area.
It baffles me how people will spend literally millions of pounds to move to a 'cool, buzzy, lively' area, then expect all live music venues, pubs, bars, theatres etc. to close by 10pm so they can have a peaceful evening, complaining about the exact reasons why the neighbourhood is the way it is.
Australia have it absolutely right - the legal rights lie with whoever was there first, the venue or the resident. Luckily there is the beginnings of a shift in the same direction here in the UK, and it is desperately needed.
An estimated 35-40% of live music venues across the UK have closed in the last 10 years, and the majority of these have been due to resident complaints.
People complain there's no new music talent coming up through the ranks. This is partly why. We're destroying the scene where they grow and develop.

I can't understand the mentality of some people. Like those who move to the countryside and complain about roosters crowing or the smell of cow shit in the air. Or move near a church and then complain about the noise of the bells.
If you don't like these things then why move to a place where they are and have been for many many years.......idiots!

This is what I mean. They’re resources are so limited these days the chances of them turning up to one lone whinger who doesn’t like that they can hear a faint few notes if they turn off the tv at 8pm and listen really hard is slim! |

I think you'd have to expect it to a degree.
It's like people moaning about parents parking outside their houses to drop their kids off to school. What do you expect when you buy a house near a school?!!! |

From what the barmaid said it was one resident.. the council bod hasy given the resident a noise monitor and during the time when the windows and doors were open it was too high. Bands are always finished before 11.. I've worked the odd shift behind the bar the pubs cleared and locked up by midnight.
As I say pub has been there way before the houses as a house buyer you should know it'll be noisier than the leafy cul de sac.. so rather than risk the fine no live bands . |

I work part time in a friends bar, the house next door used to belong to the club and was sold last year.
Since then the new owners have complained about absolutely everything & anything, even the noise of the 'balls clicking' in the billiards room when they had the windows open in the summer.
Last week a noise monitoring box from the EH appeared on the lamp post right outside the door.
This isn't even your usual pub, it's an ex servicemans club, most of the members are 60+
They hardly cause a riot on a Friday night! |

I had this sort of thing at work,was accused of driving the folk truck around in the middle of the night. The local resident complained that the beeping sound was driving him mad.
Company policy is that we don't use them at night for this reason. Sat in the office with council guy telling him we don't use them at night and can prove it with cctv. Reviewing the footage sure enough no fork trucks,then the culprit came in to view. It was the council's bin wagon emptying the bins at 6:30 in the morning. We had a good laugh with the council guy telling him he was guilty as charged.
