    I am a local resident, residing 200 metres from the Lord Nelson Hotel and I strongly object to the application to increase the operating hours of the Hotel beer garden on the grounds of the continuous noise generated by the musical entertainment. The Hotel beer garden currently has loud music emitting from the premises that intrudes on and reduces the quality of life of all neighbouring residents. I can hear it clearly inside my house and the noise makes it impossible to sleep on nights when it has gone on well after 10pm, even though I understand it is currently only licenced until 9pm.
    I would have no objection to the beer garden if there was no noise or music audible outside the premises at night. As the proposal stands and at the noise levels currently emitted, I have no choice other than to oppose the extension of the Lord Nelson Hotel beer garden operating hours.
    The beer garden has no roof and therefore cannot be soundproofed to ensure the amenity of local residents, perhaps the proprietors could conduct any musical activities inside the hotel where the sound levels could be constrained and controlled. In past decades the Lord Nelson Hotel had musical entertainment inside the lounge section of the premises and this caused no problems to local residents.
    We all want to co exist and I welcome the renovations and improvements that have been made at the Lord Nelson in recent times. I think that the current owners could work with local residents, listen to our concerns and a positive outcome could be achieved.
    If the application is approved as it stands the quality of life in this neighbourhood will decline greatly.
