Due to a
lack of consideration for noise levels in neighbourhoods, bars continue to
close all over the country due to complaints. Now, the UK government noticed
the increasing closures of bars, pubs and some of the nightlife that make up
the country.
So they've
taken some steps and enacted a law to help protect it.
The
continuous lobbying of the Music Venue Trust Group had the UK government
restrict development for music rights unless it has a full planning system. The
changing legalities have been increasingly charging music venues without early
announcements.
The new
laws would force developers to consider noise levels when building new
buildings to allow music venue owners a chance to use their venues to their
optimum potential without affecting neighbours and other areas in the
community.
That's great news for bars hosting small-time musicians and small dance
floors and halls in communities.
Mark Davyd of Music Trust in a statement:
"For music venues, this has never been about stopping development
or preventing the creation of much needed new housing; it's always been about
ensuring that new development recognizes the culture, economy and vibrancy of
city centers by building great housing, enabling existing music venues and new
residents to live in harmony. This is a major victory for the UK's music venues
and music fans. The fight to protect, secure and improve them goes on."
