Residents have complained about noise and disturbance at a popular south Liverpool venue that is hoping to make changes.
Love and Rockets on Lark Lane lodged a planning application with Liverpool Council to put up a metal pergola at the side of the building, replacing an existing timber frame, to act as an external eating and drinking area operating until 10pm daily. However, local people have complained about the impact of such a development on the busy street that lies nearby to some residential properties.
Changes to the site have been left in limbo however, after councillors could not come to an agreement as to whether to allow the new structure to go ahead. Opponents of the plan told a heated Liverpool Council planning meeting this morning how their lives have been impacted by the existing wooden structure on site - which was found to be in breach of planning regulations in August 2020 - and their vehement objections to an amended pergola on the premises.
