7.2When addressing public nuisance, the applicant should initially identify any particular issues (having regard to their particular type of premises and/or activities) which are likely to adversely affect the promotion of the objective to prevent public nuisance. Such steps are required to deal with these identified issues should be included within the applicant's operating schedule (see Appendix 4).
