A pub with a history of "problems regarding noise" has had an application that would allow the use of its beer garden after 11.30pm approved.
Kitty O'Sheas in Pontardawe applied to remove a condition on its premises licence stating that its beer garden and any other outside area should not be used after 11.30pm.
The pub owners have also applied to add a new smoking shelter in the rear beer garden and add a new emergency fire exit.
