A Derbyshire theme park hotel has been granted permission for late-night alcohol sales, despite residents' worries.

The decision, made by Derbyshire Dales District Council, means the Explorers Retreat hotel at Gulliver’s Kingdom can sell alcohol until midnight every day of the week.

It comes after a lengthy and fiery licensing hearing in Matlock on 9 September in which dozens of frustrated residents opposed the plans.

Some said the theme park is a “noisy, disruptive and inconsiderate neighbour”.

One complained the license would bring "hoards of taxis" late at night, and another claimed visitors have previously urinated and defecated in the woods behind her house and shouted abuse at her children.

But the council ultimately decided it should grant the license, with stringent conditions to deal with some of the residents' worries, including a ban on hen or stag parties.
