Representations:
The licensing officer in attendance summarised the background to the application and valid representations received as set out in the report. Members were informed that the applicant held a licence at 53 North Parade and wanted to move to a larger premises, therefore, a new licence was required. The proposed hours of licensable activity were Monday to Sunday from 0800 hours to midnight. The licensing officer explained that West Yorkshire Police had submitted a representation and were then informed by HM Revenues and Customs that they had undertaken a visit to the applicant’s current premises, where illegal cigarettes, tobacco and alcohol had been confiscated. It was noted that negotiations had then ensued with the applicant, his solicitor and the police in relation to this matter, which had culminated with a response from the police requesting that a number of conditions be placed on the licence. The applicant’s representative had then agreed that all the proposed conditions would be implemented by the applicant. The licensing officer then asked Members to consider whether further conditions would be required.
The applicant’s representative confirmed that the applicant currently occupied 53 North Parade but wanted to purchase the neighbouring premises, as he required a larger shop. He indicated that he could not comment on the visit undertaken by HM Revenues and Customs because his client had sold the premises prior to this and had not been involved in the investigations. Negotiations had taken place with the police and they were now satisfied with the application, subject to the compliance with the proposed conditions. In conclusion the applicant’s representative stated that the applicant wished to open his new business as soon as possible before Christmas.
In response to queries the applicant’s representative informed Members that new jobs would be created and two of the new staff members would be personal licence holders. The licensing officer clarified that the police had requested that one personal licence holder would need to be present at the premises at any given time. The applicant’s representative then confirmed that the applicant would appoint two personal licence holders so that they could work a rolling shift pattern.
In summation the applicant’s solicitor stated that all the proposed conditions would be complied with and that consideration would be given to any additional suggestions by the Council. He then requested that the licence be granted.
