A Warwick cafe looks set to be turned into a micropub despite objections from residents.

Ale Hub Limited has applied to turn the Chase Meadow Square venue into a pub, with a report set to be discussed by Warwick District Council recommending that the scheme goes ahead.

But a number of locals have objected to the application, saying there is not enough parking, that there will be too much noise and that there is already a pub in the square.

Warwick Town Council had originally objected to the plans but withdrew their comments after a noise survey was submitted to the satisfaction of Environmental Health.

A report which will go before councillors next Tuesday (November 15) said: "The existing use is a cafe which benefits from a late alcohol licence and the change of use of this to a drinking establishment is considered acceptable in principle."

It added: "Based on the proposed micropub use, subject to the management plan being adhered to, the protection measures in place will provide a suitable level of sound protection for the residents above. 

"The Venta Acoustics report provides details of the noise management plan that would seek to minimise noise disturbance arising from customers inside and outside of the premises as well as ambient music played indoors."
