imagine a bunch of yimbys are about to suddenly become nimbys
How does new flats being developed put them under threat?
There is no threat. The venue is worried about noise complaints, but this is not an issue in this context.
The club was there first, therefore the new residences need to be designed with this in mind, and should incorporate suitable sound insulation where needed.
The onus is on the developer to provide this, and on the council to enforce it. Noise complaints from the new residents, if any, will be dismissed, since they are the “agent of change” in this instance.
The only time it could be a problem is if the club ignores the terms of their licence and starts making excessive noise or noise outside of their agreed hours. I am sure they are able to stick to their licensing terms though.
This is a non-issue.
Literally no explanation given as to how they are related.
Moth club is dope. Me and my mrs used to love their northern soul nights when we lived around there. Fuck boring people trying to make london more boring like them.
For those who think there is no threat – the planning application completely fails to include any mitigation against noise from Moth in its design. The noise report claims adjacent commercial premises make no noise (they obviously didn’t make any visits or take any readings while Moth was open).
Nothing wrong with building in this location but the developer needs to properly mitigate against noise, which they haven’t, and the venue needs protecting with similar conditions/covenants as Ministry of Sound managed to get.
Sometimes the noise nuisance is greater not from the venue but the punters leaving late at night / early mornings. Standing holding a loud conversation for 20 minutes below someone’s bedroom window while they wait for their UBER. Or shitty music blaring out of a 4 X 4 from some coked up badass.
Really? Can’t have a single cool, Alt venue in London anymore huh
Housing is more important, nightclubs can always be replaced
They did the same thing to the Intrepid Fox when it was at Tottenham Court Road. One of the best metal pubs in London and they built a block of flats next to it. Who knew Heavy Metal music would be so loud? Not the developers, apparently.
