There were four objections to the application, two from local residents and two from local councillors but these were withdrawn and as a result a council licensing meeting was cancelled.
Councillor Alison Teal, representative for Nether Edge and Sharrow and cabinet member for neighbourhoods, said beforehand: “The councillors in (our ward) have received a number of emails from residents concerned about the licensing application for Glass Frog which is asking for very late opening hours.”
The licence was granted by Sheffield Council yesterday with conditions attached regarding noise.

The opening hours will be 11am to 11.30pm, from Monday to Sunday.
