Presentation by the Licensing Officer

Ms Daliah Barrett, Licensing Team Leader, informed the Sub-Committee that:

·         The applicant sought the supply of alcohol from 12:00 to 01:00.  This would be for consumption on and off the premises.

·         The premises would be open from 12:00 to 01:00.

·         The application had been altered as regulated entertainment had not been placed on the public notice and this was why it had been removed. 

·         If the licence was granted and alcohol was allowed to be sold at the premises, then the applicant would be able to offer regulated entertainment in any case between the hours of operation (between 12:00 to 01:00).

·         The applicant would allow for 30 minutes of drinking up-time, so the premises would close at 01:30.

·         An agreement had been reached between the applicant and the Licensing Authority in various areas save the proposed operating hours. 

·         A company called Dukes Head Highgate Limited was dissolved in 2019 and in such situations, the premises licence would become defunct if appropriate action was not taken. The Licensing Authority had not been informed of the situation and when it became apparent that the premises was operating without a valid licence, the applicant was asked to seek a new premises licence.

·         It was unclear when the applicant had taken over the premises.

·         The applicant would call Dr Hayden as a witness.

 

In response to questions, Ms Barrett, informed the Sub-Committee that:

·         In relation to noise complaints in the last 18 months, there had been five in total.

 

The Legal advisor to the meeting stated that if a non-registered speaker spoke at the meeting, then any decision made by the Sub-Committee could be open to legal challenge.
