A police letter said: “Our initial concerns focused on the proposed operating hours, which extend until 01:00 in a residential area despite having only operated until 23:00 under temporary event notices.
“The applicant provided insufficient detail on how they intend to mitigate noise and disturbance, particularly in relation to dine-in customers.”
The letter also said the applicant failed to attend a site visit on 3 July, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
It added: “While waiting at the location, officers engaged with a neighbouring operator of a licensed premises, who voluntarily expressed concerns about the area particularly regarding antisocial behaviour from local youths and confirmed he chooses to close earlier than his permitted hours for this reason.”
The building owner and managing agent objected because the lease is for use as a cafe only and there are tenants living above the venue.
One resident wrote to say they were concerned about noise as they had an eight-month-old baby and start work early.
A council spokesperson said no reason had been given for the withdrawal of the application.
