THE OWNER of a Chulmleigh pub has withdrawn an application to stage live music after objections from nearby residents.
Local businessman Laurence Delamar, who owns the Globe Inn on Church Street, applied to North Devon Council for a live music licence in July this year.
Mr Delamar, who bought the pub in March, said he wanted to treat customers to calming, classical music played by a live pianist.
However, residents living near the pub said the licence would also grant permission for electrically amplified music which they felt would cause disturbance and excessive noise.
