A PLYMOUTH city centre nightclub is to appeal against what it sees as an “unfair” decision to revoke its licence. Club Inferno has become the first nightspot in 11 years to have its licence torn up, after neighbours complained about noise, “chaos” and bad behaviour from clubbers.
But the Lockyer Street club has reacted by saying it feels it is being forced out after Plymouth City Council “mistakenly” gave permission for the former Plymouth Chamber of Commerce offices, two doors away, to be turned into flats. Club Inferno bosses have started a petition, already signed by more than 100 people, which is calling for it to have a “fair chance” to work with neighbours and find a solution.
Club Inferno is working on an appeal and called the revocation decision “unfair”. A spokesperson for the club said: “Despite our significant efforts and financial investments – including expensive soundproofing, additional staff, a noise limiter, and regular decibel testing to ensure levels remain under 50 decibels – the council has insisted on an impossible standard of zero decibels outside.”
