(vii)            That the rear doors be kept closed (not locked) at all hours when the premises is open and trading.

REASONS

The Committee felt it was necessary to restrict the application and impose these conditions in order to promote the prevention of public nuisance licensing objective. Instances of public nuisance were evidenced by the representations made.

INFORMATION

The application was reminded that the granting of the premises license did not permit the licensee to open for the hours outside of the planning permission. The licensee would therefore be in breach of planning consent if the licensable hours were kept unless planning consent for matching hours was obtained.

The interested parties were reminded of their right to apply for a review of the license after six months.
