The licence also grants permission for live music to be played. The applicant said this would only happen during special events such as charity nights, which would take place 'every few months'.
The applicant said 'prominent' notices asking customers to be quiet so as not to disturb neighbours would be displayed.
Staff will not be able to empty bottle waste between 7pm and 7am.

One, from Laura Johnson and Nicholas Wallis, raised concerns about noise in nearby Tom Lane. They said a previous establishment, Panahar, caused enough noise without alcohol or music licences.
Ruth and John Beeley said Lavang customers would cause nuisance to residents by parking near the restaurant.
And Abdurahman El-Awa also raised issues with smells from cooking.
