Minutes:
The Licensing Officer, Ms Dale Barrett, presented the report on the application to provide the supply of alcohol at Dragonfly Wholefoods. Ms Barrett reported that the representation made by the Police and Fire Officer had subsequently been withdrawn, and that representations had also been received from the Planning Officer and an interested party.
Local residents presented their objections to the application. They requested that the communal passageway used by residents never be used for storage, as this posed a hazard in the event of an emergency, and that the doorway between the communal passageway and the shop be kept locked at all times for additional security. The local residents confirmed that these were the only outstanding issues.
In response to the statement given by local residents, the applicant reported that goods were only ever placed in the communal passage for a period of no more than two hours every week or so, when the delivery was being transferred into the shop. In respect of the doorway between the passage and the shop, it was reported that this was never used and that there was no access between the shop and the hallway.
In response to questions from the Committee, the applicant reported that the sale of alcohol would not result in storage problems, as alcohol would account for only a small volume of additional stock, which could easily be accommodated in the existing storage areas.
In conclusion, local residents requested that the hallyway be kept clear at all times, as it was not possible to predict when an emergency would occur. The applicant concluded by saying that the business did all it could to respect residents, and that the licence would not result in any disturbance.
RESOLVED
The Committee decided to grant the application as asked, subject to the following conditions:
1) The Mandatory Statutory condition under section 19 of the Act.
2) That the licence holder complies with the provisions of the operating schedule.
