Two music events in Cornwall have received permission from councillors to increase attendance by thousands.
A Cornwall Council licensing committee agreed to the increase for The Great Estate and Live at Scorrier House next year, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
Both annual festivals take place within the grounds of Scorrier House between Truro and Redruth.
The Great Estate will see capacity increased from 12,000 to 14,999, with Live at Scorrier House growing from 9,999 to 14,999.
Ben Hall, from Quick Panda Productions, which organises both events, told the meeting he was confident the growth in numbers would be manageable and there would be an increase in security.
Speaking about The Great Estate, he said: "We're really proud of the festival - we won gold at the Cornwall Tourism Awards recently.
"The event provides millions towards Cornwall's economy and supports Cornish jobs, businesses and tourism."
Hall said the festival team had a very good relationship with "most of the neighbours" living around the Scorrier estate.
"If we identify problems or people are upset with anything then we will do our absolute best to appease them," he said.
The meeting heard neither police, firefighters or the council's community protection department were against the capacity increases.
Ben Paton, a neighbour who objected to the plans, said: "For six years, The Great Estate festival and other events have made life at our home hell for multiple days each year, in particular over the summer bank holiday weekend.
"We endure amplified music, intrusive bass noise throughout the day, late into the night and in the early morning.
"Festivalgoers repeatedly trespass on our property. Our cameras recorded several incidents each day and each night this summer. They're recurring problems which the existing licence has failed to prevent."
A council solicitor stressed the committee was dealing with a variation and not a review of the whole licence.
The committee approved the increased capacity at both events, with conditions added.
They included security fencing to prevent festivalgoers trespassing on to Paton's property and the provision of a security person stationed at the boundary of his home and the festival site.
