One resident, who said they lived close to the pub on Cote Lane, also told the council’s licensing department that the extended opening hours could lead to an increase in crime and disorder, along with a lack of police presence in the village.
Another contributor added that noise from the pub was already “intolerable”, resulting in their parents not being able to enjoy their garden.
The application also included proposed new safety measures for the pub, including a CCTV system, enhanced staff training and a Challenge 25 scheme, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Although discussions had taken place between licensing officials, the applicant and objectors, no consensus on a noise management plan had been reached, the report stated.
Barnsley Council’s statutory licensing board was expected to meet on 22 October to hear from the applicant and objectors and to make a decision on any licence variations.
