Says resident - but venue granted new licence to hold outdoor events until 2am

- By LAUREN MONAGHAN

A PARTY venue in Gedling has been granted permission to hold outdoor events until 2am - but the number of events allowed has been reduced.

Goosedale Events Ltd, which hosts weddings, private parties, conferences and business events on its 100-acre site, applied for a new licence for an outdoors events space.

The company uses its converted 17th-century farm in Goosedale Lane, between Bestwood Village and Papplewick, for the events.

Licensed bars and banqueting suites already exist on site, and they can accommodate up to 550 people.

The decision was made in Gedling Thursday.

Under the new licence applied for, managers wanted to run 21 events each year in the outdoor space, with licensable activities from 9am until 2am every day. But Gedling Borough Council's licensing panel decided on Thursday to allow the space to operate 12 events each year and permission was granted subject to conditions with Nottinghamshire Police and the environmental health officer (EHO).
