An entertainment venue has been granted a 3am licence despite opposition from neighbours.
The North Laine Community Association had urged Brighton and Hove City Council to reject Komedia's proposal to serve drinks and hold live music until 3am on Friday and Saturday - 90 minutes longer than currently allowed.
But Komedia, in Gardner Street, Brighton, had its licensing application approved at a council meeting on Thursday.
The licence was granted on condition that rubbish bags are not put out between 11pm and 7.30am, windows and doors in bar and entertainment areas are closed in the evening and that venue-goers are banned from using the Regent Street exit after 10pm.
