“The music keeps us awake and we suffer from physical and psychological effects of sleep deprivation on a weekly basis. Any further extension to their opening hours would just add to the already significant issues we face with noise disturbance.”
The resident also stated: “We made two complaints directly to the bar and asked them to reduce the music levels and keep the outside door closed (not propped open as it always is) and were told to ‘go away’.
“I made a formal complaint to planning and licensing but the problems of noise from One Four One persists. I have gathered evidence over the last 12 months and can submit this to licensing if required.”
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the venue’s general manager claimed that the noise created was not loud enough to cause issues.
In a submission they said: “Unless you are stood directly outside the venue at the windows, noise levels are not at a level where they would cause nuisance.
“I myself live above the bar at 141 West Street and I have an 18-year-old daughter who resides with me permanently and a six-year-old and two-year-old who stop over at the weekends. We have soundproofing in place throughout the building so I fail to understand how he can pinpoint from his flat that One Four One is the issue.”
They added that the night-time economy provides jobs for Sheffield.
“Covid hit the hospitality trade the hardest, with businesses going bust and people losing their livelihood. We as a venue do our utmost to minimise any anti-social behaviour and nuisance and will continue to do so. “
