Crimple applies to serve alcohol and play music until 2am
Crimple has applied to extend the hours in which it can serve alcohol and play music from 11.30pm until 2am.
Owner Graham Watson has said the move would enable the venue near Harrogate to cater for weddings and other celebrations better.
But the application to extend the premises licence has prompted concerns about late night noise.
North Yorkshire Council's statutory sub-licensing committee will decide whether to accept the application at a meeting on Thursday next week.
Documents submitted to the council by Mr Watson and designated premises supervisor Tori Watson said:
Noise concerns
The application has attracted several objections on the council website.
Peter Wrigley, from All Saints Court Residents Association, which represents seven nearby houses, said "there is little to buffer the noise", adding:
He adds a silent disco rule, using bluetooth headphones, after 10pm "might be a helpful condition".
Cllr John Mann, a Conservative who represents Oatlands, and Pannal on North Yorkshire Council and Howard West, chairman of Pannal and Burn Bridge Parish Council, have also objected on the grounds of the sound causing public nuisance.

Gemma Demaline, an environmental health officer at the council, said:
Ms Demaline recommends various conditions, including not letting customers use the external rear terrace of the premises for eating or drinking between 10pm and 10am.
