They want to open seven days a week until 5am and serve alcohol until 4.30am.

Richard Chan, manager of Tang, attended the meeting as well as a representative from Preston City Council’s environmental health team.

Councillor John Swindells said those living in the Cloisters and Steeple View were unanimous in their objections to the venue.

He also said the city council’s environmental health team were due to be objection.

A statement is being prepared, according to council officer Ian Massey, which states: “Further to the above I am objecting on behalf of the Environmental Health Department which is a responsible authority. I am objecting to the variation/grant of the licence due to concerns about the likely effect of the application regarding the promotion of the licensing objectives, specifically that which relate to the prevention of public nuisance, especially noise both internally and externally

“My reasons concerning the grant and its adverse effect on the prevention of nuisance are that the premises are in close proximity to domestic dwellings, together with the structural attributes of the building, the proposed entertainment and the later times (with alcohol) to which the premises will be open.”

Restaurant manager Mr Chan said he was going back to the owners of Tang to see whether they could amend their licence application.

He told the Lancashire Evening Post they wanted the later opening times to cater for students who wished to use karaoke rooms at the restaurant.
