A popular Brighton nightspot has won permission to open until the early hours.
Brighton and Hove City Council made a condition that the Walkabout in West Street should close at 11.30pm.
But planning inspector Susan Simpson has allowed an appeal by Regent Inns, which means it can open until 1.30am.
She said there did not appear to be trouble at the Australian-style cafe bar.
She thought it would be better to have a 1.30am closing time so Walkabout customers did not come out into West Street at the same time as many others.
