The Hearing gave consideration to a report by the Chief Officer Environmental and Operational Services giving details of an application under Section 53A of the Licensing Act 2003 for a summary review hearing. Accordingly the application had been referred to the Sub-Committee as the licensing authority for consideration of whether interim steps were necessary pending a review of the premises licence.

 

The Hearing heard from the applicant and asked questions. The Hearing heard from the legal representative for the Premises Licence Holder and asked questions.

 

At 11.42 the Hearing Members withdrew to consider the issues raised. The Council’s Legal Adviser and Democratic Services Officer were present to give legal advice and to minute the decision.

 

At 12.02 the Hearing Members, Council’s Legal Adviser and Democratic Services Officer returned to the Council Chamber.

 

It was unanimously -

 

Resolved:  That the Committee is satisfied on the basis of the information given in the application that on the day of the incident 23 May 2014 the supervision of the premises was not sufficient and that this contributed to the serious incident that occurred. Given the seriousness of the incident, suspending the licence in the interim is proportionate and necessary.
