A SIX-year battle over plans to keep a pontoon at a riverside restaurant is set to continue in the High Court.
Oxford City Council moved to stop Pandesia, formerly Aqua Vitae, at Folly Bridge, using the mooring platform for dining after complaints from neighbours about noise and lighting.
In August, appeals inspector Roger Priestley found in favour of the restaurant, provided the pontoon was closed to customers after 9.30pm, with tables cleared by 10pm.
However, on Tuesday, city councillors voted to challenge the decision in the High Court.
Planning officer Murray Hancock said: "The papers have been lodged but there is no date set.
"We are challenging the inspector's decision because we think it is flawed."
