Agenda and minutes

Apologies received from Councillor Mughal, who was substituted by Councillor Demirci.

The Chair will consider the admission of any late items of urgent business.  (Late items will be considered under the agenda item where they appear. New items will be dealt with at item 8 below).

None.

A member with a personal interest in a matter who attends a meeting of the Authority at which the matter is considered must disclose to that meeting the existence and nature of that interest at the commencement of that consideration, or when the interest becomes apparent.

A member with a personal interest in a matter also has a prejudicial interest in that matter if the interest is one which a member of the public with knowledge of the relevant facts would reasonably regard as so significant that it is likely to prejudice the member’s judgement of the public interest.

Councillor Peacock, Chair, informed the Sub-Committee that she had sat on the previous sub-committee that heard an application from the Polish Food and Wine, Item 6 on the Agenda.

The Chair will explain the procedure that the Committee will follow for each of the hearings considered under the Licensing Act 2003. A copy of the procedure is attached.
