In 2010 our local council approved use of floodlights to a local football club. They restricted the use to 12 midweek occasions during the football season with S106 conditions in order to protect the amenity of local residents, some of whom live less than 30m from the pitch and it's in a conservation area.
Since 2010 the nuisance noise and disturbance has increased significantly as match crowds have grown.
Recently the club applied to increase the limit to 24 midweek occasions and the council approved it even though there has been no change in circumstances.
Our amenity has suddenly become worth only half what it was in 2010.
Our main argument for a review is that the council made a commitment in 2010 to protect the amenity of local residents and then more recently swept that decision aside.
That just doesn't seem right to us.
I would appreciate any opinions.
Thanks.
