Agenda item

Application for a Variation of a Premises Licence.

NOTED

1.    The Chair was of the view that there was scope for agreement to be reached between the parties without necessarily requiring determination by the Licensing Sub Committee (LSC). He would therefore offer a 20 minute adjournment to explore the scope for movement on the parties’ positions, and sought the parties’ reactions.

2.    Ellie Green, Principal Licensing Officer advised that speaking with the applicant just before the meeting, Mrs Michael had sent an email twice which was not received by Licensing officers and that a brief adjournment of the hearing would be useful.

3.    The meeting was adjourned to re-start at 10:30am.

4.    Ellie Green was pleased to advise that agreement had been made between the responsible authorities and the applicant in respect of hours and conditions as follows:

Hours the premises are open to the public: Sunday to Thursday 10:00 to 00:30, Friday to Saturday 10:00 to 01:30.

Supply of alcohol (on and off supplies): Sunday to Thursday 10:00 to 00:00, Friday to Saturday 10:00 to 00:30.

Recorded music (indoors): Sunday to Thursday 10:00 to 00:00, Friday to Saturday 10:00 to 00:30.

No change was sought to late night refreshment.

There shall be no new entry or re-entry to the premises after 23:30 on Fridays and Saturdays apart from those patrons exiting in order to smoke to the immediate frontage of the property.

5.    The Chair confirmed that therefore representations from the responsible authorities were withdrawn and there was no decision to be made by the LSC. He invited comments from all parties and thanked everyone for attending. Representatives from the Police, the Licensing Authority and the applicant confirmed that they were happy with the agreement reached.
