It follows complaints about noise and behaviour at the Windsor Castle Inn.
A number complaints relating to loud swearing, ranting inside the pub, talentless and drunken karaoke sessions, music from the jukebox, and even the noise of the quizmaster asking questions for a pub quiz were relayed to Exeter City Council’s licensing sub-committee.
The Heavitree pub on North Street shut its doors last year after the previous tenant left the pub and surrendered the premises licence, and residents have told how the area had become an oasis since then, and that ‘you can now walk the pub without getting high’.
Howard Property Lettings Ltd, owners of the pub, had applied for a brand new premises licence, including live music, recorded music, the selling of alcohol and opening hours following the licence being surrounded by the previous tenant when they left last year.
But the licensing sub-committee rejected the application on the grounds that noise from the pub would be a public nuisance.
