The argument that shows how Manchester's Northern Quarter has changed forever

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

It's the clash between the old Northern Quarter and the new. Costing £160,000, taking up days of court time, and needing 'Herculean' efforts in out-of-court negotiations - only to still need a judge to decide its outcome - the Night & Day noise row has been a neighbourly dispute unlike any other.

But at the heart of it is the reality of how a special part of Manchester city centre has changed into a place where people don't just work and play, but seek suburban lifestyles.

When Night & Day opened in 1991, it was a pioneer on the rugged edge of the city centre. It was in a land of cheap rents, easy parking, and wholesalers.

Now it's the land Chanel uses for its catwalks, and a very in-demand neighbourhood to live in. With an influx of residents into Manchester city centre, expectations of town have changed changed.
