The Chairman commenced the meeting and immediately adjourned it to allow time for the Applicant’s representative to arrive.

The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting. 

The Hearing gave consideration to a report by the Chief Officer Environmental and Operational Services giving details of an application for a new premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003. It was noted that an objection had been received and that accordingly the application had been referred to the Sub-Committee for determination. No objector was present.

The Hearing heard from the Applicant’s representative, he summarised the kind of events they hoped to hold and why they were applying for the licence and answered questions on timings and the operating schedule submitted.  They wished to fully integrate with the local community and be a good neighbour, and had offered window washing and the services of a tree surgeon to local neighbours including the objector.   Hearing Members queried the entrance policy and how alcohol would be served and paid for to get an idea of the operations.

 

At 11.07 a.m. the Hearing Members withdrew to consider the issues raised accompanied by the Council’s Legal Advisor and Clerks to the Hearing for the purpose of providing advice only.
