'pin-drop quiet' might be a bit of an exaggeration. Even in Liphook Crescent the pleasant sound of children playing can be heard from the primary school, not to mention to noise of many cars dropping off/picking up primary school children twice a day. During the summer I have also heard loud music from the bandstand in the park drifting across the hill in the wind.

It is a nice quiet place to live, despite all the normal noises of a city, including aeroplanes overhead. But I don't think the nursery substantially changes this. I realise the immediate neighbours will be able to notice some noise from the nursery - although I am sure there are ways to mitigate this noise without closing down the nursery.

Why has nothing been done to sort this out amicably and neighbourly rather than closing down one of 50 businesses on the hill?
