Minutes:

Daliah Barrett, Licensing Officer introduced the report as set out.  In response to questions from Members she advised that the planning permission allowed operation from 09.00-00.00, although the Planning Service had not made a representation.  She noted that the guidance stated that licence holders should operate within their planning hours.

 

Noshaba Shah, Licensing, presented the representation on behalf of the Licensing Authority.  The licence holder had applied for an used 11 Temporary Event Notices in the past year and should be aware of the licensing conditions required to be upheld.  There had been complaints received from local residents in regard to noise, and the applicant had been found to be operating without a licence.  Due to these incidents, the Licensing Authority considered that the sale of alcohol should be restricted to 21.30 during the week and 22.00 at the weekend.

 

Glen Lake, Applicant Represented, presented the application for a new premises licence.  He requested that the applicant be given a chance to operate with a premises licence and stated that the applicant would co-operate with the Licensing Authority in any way she could.  The applicant had accepted the conditions put forward by the Police and Mr Lake considered that the restrictions requested by the Licensing Authority were a punishment.  Mr Lake added that the applicant lived above the premises and had not experienced any noise from the premises.  He added that whilst the applicant did not speak English very well, she had learned enough to take the personal licence exam.

 

Mr Lake responded to questions from the Committee:

-               When the applicant was found to be in breach of operating without a licence, the event was a private event and Mr Lake explained that the guidance said that as long as no profit was made from selling alcohol then this was permissible.

-               Challenge 25 would be implemented.

-               The applicant would be co-operative with the conditions set by the Police however this would have to be a temporary measure due to the amount it would cost the applicant.

 

All parties summed up and the Committee retired to consider their decision.
