Dear Members of ECCO

I think that the people who will be most affected are those of us who live at the bottom of Rossington Road and on Brocco Bank.  I’m remembering how it was for these folk during lockdown when people were partying in Endcliffe Park till late at night/early hours of the morning.

Just because it may not directly affect those of us who live on Everton/Newington/Wiseton and the “Vale” Estate doesn’t mean that we can’t be neighbourly and think about those who will be directly affected.

With appreciation and gratitude for everything that the members of the ECCO committee do on our behalf.

...and if they're *officially* allowed to be open till late, it means you have to add an extra hour (at least) to that time before customers have left (banging car doors, revving up engines and shouting around in the process). No, I'm not tarnishing everyone with the same brush - it only needs *one* lot like that per night to impact negatively on neighbouring residential areas.

Plus, Nonna's really doesn't strike me as struggling for survival - they've been ever so busy from the first day they were allowed to reopen.

Cheers,

Fides

    This is what Atlee had to say about such things.........

    /I entirely agree that people should have the greatest freedom
    compatible with the freedom of others. There was a time when
    employers were free to work little children for sixteen hours a
    day. I remember when employers were free to employ sweated women
    workers on finishing trousers at a penny halfpenny a pair. There
    was a time when people were free to neglect sanitation so that
    thousands died of preventable diseases. For years every attempt to
    remedy these crying evils was blocked by the same plea of freedom
    for the individual. It was in fact freedom for the rich and
    slavery for the poor./

    /Do we really want the lowest possible denominator on Ecclesall Road/

    If this is accepted if will not be reviewed after the pandemic is
    over in fact I suspect it will open the flood gates for every bar
    to be open until 1pm

            Hi

            I advise that individuals also go on to Sheffield planning
            and make individual comments on the application in
            addition to any collective submission.

            Previous emails include the web address and the a
            application can be found searching for Nonna on the
            Sheffield city council planning site.

                an extension of their hours. We live in a residential

                An extension will also increase traffic and taxis in

                    Agree with Gordon. Also, whilst other businesses

                    We will certainly put in an objection.

                    I can also send one on behalf of ECCO, from the

                    Do we need a (virtual) meeting to discuss this,

                        I think that we should object to this -
                        certainly as individuals, and hopefully acting
                        together through ECCO.

                        Nonnas have tried to get extended opening
                        hours in the past for exactly the same reason
                        - to enable their business to be viable. And
                        we fought the application back then.

                        As far as I am concerned, if a business
                        operating under current planning restrictions
                        cannot be viable, they should close or move.
                        They know what the limits are and should run
                        their business accordingly, and should not go
                        crying to the authorities if they are not
                        astute enough to make their business work. As
                        for the Covid-19 restrictions, everyone is in
                        the same boat, and individual businesses
                        should not be asking for special considerations.

                        The government are pushing for relaxation of
                        planning restrictions around new housing, so
                        there is unfortunately an atmosphere of
                        businesses being willing to exploit people and
                        the environment for their own personal gain.
                        If Nonnas win this application, every single
                        other business on Ecclesall Road will apply
                        and get the same.

                        Ecclesall Road is bad enough as it is, so we
                        should fight to maintain the current planning
                        and licensing restrictions.

                            Hi all

                            Nonna's have made a planning application
                            to extend their opening hours on Fridays
                            and Saturdays.

                            They want to stay open until 1am in the
                            morning and keep their terrace open until
                            11pm on those days.

                            Generally, restaurants on Ecclesall Road
                            have been restricted to 11pm (or is it
                            11.30pm) for many years past. So this
                            would be a substantial extension.

                            Nonna's argue that Covid-19 restrictions
                            would make them unviable unless they get
                            this extension. However one needs to
                            understand that planning permission cannot
                            be retracted once it has been granted.

                            I don't know whether ECCO members will
                            have strong views about this matter. If so
                            then we could comment on the planning
                            application as a group.

                            The Planning Application can be viewed by
                            visiting
                            
https://planningapps.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/
                            and searching either for 'nonnas' or
