Representations
The Interim Assistant Director Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “E”) which outlined an application for review of a Premises Licence authorising the sale of alcohol and the provision of regulated entertainment for Tipple Bar. The Panel was also reminded that additional information supporting the application had been circulated since the publication of the agenda as had information from the premises owner. The premises owner had transferred the premises licence into his own name and Tipple Entertainment plc was no longer involved with the premises in any way.
The decision making options open to the Panel were also explained in full.

He accepted the premises owners reasons for wanting an extant licence for these premises and noted that, since the removal of the previous licence holders, the incidents plaguing the premises had ceased.
He stressed that the Police wished to avoid a situation where the previous problems reoccurred and that their focus was now on the operation of the licence going forward rather than its revocation.
He advised that the location of the premises was a concern to the Police as it was set on a one way street which attracted a great deal of traffic. The Council had made a significant investment in traffic management but problems were still on-going. He considered that a reduction of the licensable hours would satisfy those concerns and stated that a terminal hour of 0200 every night would be acceptable to the Police and would allow a new operator to come in and restart the business. He noted also that a new operator would be able to make use of temporary event notices to extend that terminal hour until ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
