Mr. Owen Keegan:

I accept that there are issues of intensification and precedent but we have demonstrated this. In the decision we permitted an increased intensification by allowing three concerts. In total this year there were six concert special events. The highest number in any previous year was four. We have already allowed for that and we have already broken a precedent because the highest number on any previous occasion was four and yet we had licensed six. Therefore, we demonstrated that there would have been scope for them. I suspect that if the issues and legitimate concerns of residents had been properly addressed, there would have been scope for further intensification and a greater breach of precedent.
