A BATTLE has erupted over plans to expand operations at a controversial bikers cafe. The new owner of the Loomies Moto Cafe site in the Meon Valley has applied to build workshop in four containers behind the cafe. The application to the South Downs National Park (SDNP) has sparked 90 objections with objectors fearing it will lead to an increase in use of Loomies on Alton Road and therefore a rise in noise pollution from speeding motorbikes. London-based Loperty Ltd, who bought the site near the junction of theA272 and A32 last year, say the containers will also be space for the storage of merchandise for the Loomies shop and cafe produce.
