The Edith Cavell pub in Norwich's historic Tombland area is to undergo a review of its premises licence by Norwich City Council's licensing team.

Another instance highlighting the problems of the use of the Licesing Act to deal with noise concerns. Having obtained additional entertainment licensing the premises should reasonably expect to able to supply it.

Again, the only way the same council can find there to be a noise concern from the activity they provided permission for, is to try and find a way to contend that the premises are at fault for not following whatever conditions which were imposed as part of the Premises Licence.

For if the premises are following these conditions - then there cannot be a noise concern. For it is not possible for a council's licensing section to give permission for excessive noise.
