These hours had been requested by the applicant and in accordance with the applicant’s letter of 30 March 2006, the hours were adjusted to allow for the licensable activity to end 30 minutes before closing of the premises.

The reason why the requested change of days in relation to the supply of alcohol had not been permitted was because permission for these days would not have been able to comply with premises opening hours.

REASONS:

The reasons for applying these conditions are to protect children from harm, promote public safety, and prevention of public nuisance.

To consider an application for a premises licence to provide a licensable activity in the form of Provision of Entertainment Facilities, and Supply of Alcohol.

After a short hearing comprising a the Licensing Officer’s Report and the first part of an objector’s case, the proceedings were interrupted by the Legal Representative. It had been brought to the Committee’s attention, that the premises license applied for would affect 500 or more people. Under the Council’s Constitution (Part E.7 Section 6 (1)(e)) it is the full Licensing Committee only that can exercise the functions of the Licensing Sub-Committees in relation to any premises, site or event where 500 or more persons are to be present.

The hearing was subsequently adjourned, to be brought back to a meeting of the full Licensing Committee, once the actual number of people to be present at the premises was properly confirmed. The Licensing Officer confirmed that a fee would not be levied to the applicant for a new application, but that fresh papers would need to be submitted. These would then be fully circulated to all interested parties and responsible authorities.

To consider any new items admitted under item 2 above.
