This would represent a very significant increase on the hours currently allowed.   It will undermine licensing objectives to prevent public nuisance. The restaurant has I understand already received multiple noise complaints from residents about loud music emanating from the premises. It should be noted these complaints have been made within current licensing arrangements, which ensure the premises close at a reasonable time. It can, therefore, be assumed that these issues would continue were the premises allowed to open until 1:30 a.m. only this time they would cause more nuisance as the restaurant would clearly continue much later into the night.
