Mr Brown, Licensing Manager, presented the report.
Mr Scrase, Senior Licensing Officer (Applicant), said he instigated the review of the premises licence under the licensing objectives ‘the Prevention of Crime and Disorder and the Protection of Children from Harm’ as a result of evidence provided by Karis Valli, Senior Environmental Health Officer (Food/Health & safety), following a food safety inspection. He said a number of conditions attached to the premises licence had been breached and so he submitted a review to address the ongoing poor management and supervision of the premises.
The existing use of the shop covers the premises for the ‘off sales’ supply by retail of Alcohol. It currently operates under the following trading hours: Sale of alcohol – Monday to Sunday 10.00 – 23.00hrs.

On 25th November 2009, the premises holder Mr Amit Gohil transferred the licence and then on 11th October 2010 it was transferred to another limited company name, KP & UK Ltd by the same person. On 11th May 2012, the premises licence was transferred from KP & UK Ltd to Ganas Food and Wine Ltd. The registered company owner is currently Mr Kanapathillai Sanjeev.
