    Dear Council,
    Please note our objection to the proposed opening hours of the Wood Fired Pizza at 7 Mitchell St Norah Head. We believe midnight closing is inappropriate to this area because of the close proximity to residential dwellings. Shorethyme, the restaurant next door to the proposed business, closes at 10pm and the noise from there is disturbing at times but tolerable because the departing patrons and staff usually disperse by 11pm at the latest.
    Our bedroom windows are just 5 metres away and face into the laneway beside the proposed pizza premises so we are likely to experience considerable disturbance. The immediate area is surprisingly dense with residential dwellings above, beside, behind and across from this business with the adjacent laneway providing a tempting area to congregate. We do not object to the pizza business but believe the hours should be in line with the neighbouring Shorethyme restaurant.

    Dear Sir,
    I refer to the proposed opening hours of Wood Pizza at 7 Mitchell Street, Norah Head.
    I find it disturbing that the DA application for this proposed business has now been amended to request longer opening hours until 12.00pm.
    The area surrounding the Wood Pizza is predominantly residential. My unit, 3/69 Bungary Road, Norah Head, which is in the laneway behind the business, is approximately 20 metres from the site with bedrooms facing the laneway. There is a café below my unit with opening hours 8.00am to 5.00pm, there is a restaurant, with a business name Shorethyme located next door to Wood Pizza with closing hours at 10.00pm. Any disturbance is generally quite low and acceptable.
    It would seem to me that allowing extended hours will cause disturbance issues as the laneway would provide an area for groups to congregate way past 12.00pm which is not an uncommon event noting other commercial areas.
    As mentioned above as the area is basically residential and longer hours will affect normal sleeping arrangements as sound is magnified during night time.
    While the Wood Pizza is advantageous for our area and is encouraged the extended opening hours may cause unnecessary friction between residents and the Wood Pizza patrons. If the balance is right between residents and business then the area should prosper. I believe the opening hours should be aligned with Shorethyme.
    T and M Bishop
