All parties were given the opportunity to withdraw their objection based on the amendments. Following consultation Mr David Warden withdrew his objection. The applicant amended the application further at the Hearing by removing the seasonal variation request for the sale of alcohol.

 

On the basis on the representations of the applicant, his representative and other persons, the sub-committee found the following facts to be established:

 

(i)               There had been no representations made by any of the Responsible Authorities including the Police.

 

(ii)              That having considered the 19 representations objecting to the application the applicant amended the application and reduced the hours for the sale of alcohol. Following this amendment one objection was withdrawn.

 

(iii)            That at the Hearing the applicant chose to further amend the application and remove the request for the seasonal variation for the sale of alcohol. In addition the request for live and recorded music was removed as this was already permitted within the Licensing Act 2012.

 

(iv)            The licence was granted in 2015 but that the premises did not begin trading until 2016.

 

(v)             Objectors were concerned with and gave first-hand experience of the level of noise emanating from the premises and patrons in the street that were congregating whilst smoking and drinking.

 

(vi)            The sub-committee considered there to be two aspects of noise. The first from music which under the deregulation was outside the scope of this determination. The other was noise from patrons. The sub-committee were of the view that extending the hours as per the application would not undermine the licensing objective of public nuisance.

 

(vii)           It was alleged that the applicant had not adhered to the conditions placed on the existing licence and in particular relating to the closing of windows and doors at the premises.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 8.
