It was stated that representations had been received fromother persons, including a ward councillor, and these were set out in full in the report. It was added that three representations had been received from Responsible Authorities: the Licensing Authority, Building Control, and Planning.

 

It was explained that the premises had previously held a licence under different ownership. It was noted that, over time, there had been some changes to the type of restaurant and the layout of the premises, including changes to the rear garden. It was also noted that there had been noise complaints resulting from the use of the rear garden.

 

The Licensing Officer explained that the application carried the conditions offered by the applicant but that, in this case, the conditions offered were largely unenforceable and would not be able to be converted into conditions. It was noted that the representation from the Planning Officer commented that there were outstanding planning issues in the rear yard and that the hours of operation permitted under the planning permission for the premises were 9am – 11pm across the week. The representation from Building Control noted that the plans submitted were not reflective of the premises and that there were a number of issues that should be rectified before a licence became operational. The representation from the Licensing Authority stated that noise control measures and any conditions would need to be appropriate and proportionate and proposed alternative hours.

 

It was also noted that the relevant laws and guidance were listed in the report, from section 6 onwards. It was explained that the Committee could grant the licence subject to mandatory and other conditions, exclude from the scope of the licence any of the licensable activities to which the licence related, refuse to specify a person in the licence as the premises supervisor, or reject the application. It was added that the licensing authority’s determination of the application was subject to a 21 day appeal period.
