When submitting an application for a licence under the Licensing Act 2003 the applicant is asked to describe what steps they intend to take to promote the four licensing objectives:-
· the prevention of crime and disorder,
· public safety,
· prevention of public nuisance,
· protection of children from harm.
In this case, the applicant has made a separate declaration in their application together with the Business Plan (Appendix A of the agenda).
Mr Brown, Licensing Manager, advised that an error had been made in the application. The applicant had applied to have the opening hours of the premises on Sunday from 09.00hrs to 11.00hrs. This is believed to have been an error and should read 23.00hrs. He said the Environmental Health Officer had suggested reducing the hours of operation in Condition 9 of his response to the application:-
9) Standard Hours of operation should be restricted to a terminal hour of 00:30hrs on Friday / Saturday and 23:30hrs, Sunday through Thursday to ensure the protection of residents from unwanted noise in a noise sensitive area. This will also apply to non –standard hours specified due to the likelihood of noise disturbance outside of the usual business hours.
Mr Brown read the consultation response received from the Planning Department (Appendix C of the agenda). He advised this was for information and must be considered separately.
