Manchester’s iconic Night & Day looks likely to face a court case next month over a noise complaint they were served with last November.
The much-loved Oldham Street venue took to Twitter to announce that Manchester City Council had refused to remove the Noise Abatement Notice, meaning they could face a hearing on Tue 29 Nov at Manchester Crown Courts.
If the appeal is unsuccessful, Night and Day say the requirements of the notice would effectively ruin the space as a music venue and likely lead to its closure altogether.
In a statement, the venue said: “In a critical new development to the story and after receiving a copy of the planning file for the redevelopment of the building next door where the complainant lived, the owners of Night & Day were shocked to find that a crucial acoustic report had not been provided, nor acoustic works completed to the development before it was occupied.
“This was a condition of the planning consent for conversion of the building next door, to ensure that residents were not disturbed by noise from pre-existing businesses in the area.”
