Over in the UK the owner of an Oakham pub is being forced to soundproof his establishment. Just over a year ago, John Woods applied for permission to convert the property from a simple shop into a pub and restaurant. He was granted permission with the stipulation he would follow certain guidelines.
What were the guidelines? Soundproofing, for one. Of course, Mr. Woods decided his patrons weren’t noisy and didn’t go through with the plan. Now, he has until October to build a brick wall behind the pub’s garden and install other soundproofing materials. If not, his pub will be a thing of the past!
