Issue - meetings

Notice was given by Mr Agron Xhauri to use the premises known as and situated at Royal Venue, 1 Jute Lane, Enfield, EN3 7PJ for licensable activities at a proposed event at the premises from 00:00 to 03:30 on Friday 1 January 2016.

NOTED that the Temporary Event Notice was considered in parallel with the application for a new premises licence.

RESOLVED that

1.         In accordance with the principles of Section 100(a) of the Local Government Act 1972 to exclude the press and public from the meeting for this item of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 7 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Act.

The Panel retired, with the legal representative and committee administrator, to consider the application further and then the meeting reconvened in public.

2.         The Chairman made the following statement:

“The application for what, at the hearing, became a single Temporary Event Notice, was rejected on the basis:

(a)  that it was incoherent and provided no details of what the event was to be, and how it was going to run in a way that satisfied the sub-committee that the licensing objectives would be promoted;

(b)  that the reasons given for refusing the application for a new premises licence at the same venue all pertain.”

3.         The Licensing Sub-Committee resolved that it is appropriate, for the promotion of the licensing objectives, to give Mr Xhauri a counter notice for the event.
