NOTED that

3. Only 28% of premises applied to vary their licence (including new applications for premises).
4. The statistics in Figure 6, Appendix A whereby 31% of licensed premises were closed by 2300 hours, 57% by 0000 hours and the vast majority of premises (91%) were closed by 0100 hours. Just 2% of premises were licensed to open 24 hours.
5. The Licensed Premises Comparisons 2004/2005 (page 30) would need further analysis once the data had been completed. Again, the Chairman commented that the information would be of interest but that any decision as an outcome would not fall within the remit of the Licensing Committee.
6. In respect of Appendix B, information on the appeals lodged against the Licensing Committee’s decisions, there were a number of appeal withdrawals.

Five appeals had already been heard, with six outstanding.
RESOLVED that
