The Assistant Director, Waste, Fleet and Transport Services, presented a report (Document “P”) which outlined an application review of a Premises Licence authorising the sale of alcohol, the provision of regulated entertainment and the provision of late night refreshment at the Potting Shed, 94 Main Street, Bingley.
The licensing officer in attendance summarised the background to the application for review and representations made by West Yorkshire Police; the Local Authority Licensing Enforcement Officer and Environmental Health. Document “P” also summarised eight letters of representation received from local residents and a Ward Councillor on the grounds of excessive noise and disturbance caused by patrons of the premises. It was reported that the Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) had been removed from post and a replacement had been appointed.
The Environmental Health Officer addressed the meeting and provided background information to the issue. She also reported a substantial number of on-going complaints regarding noise nuisance emanating from the premises.
It was explained that an application to convert the licence to a Premises Licence, under the Licensing Act 2003, was made in June 2005 and had received no objections due to the history of premises.
In July 2007 a number of complaints about loud music from the premises were received. The complaints were investigated and the DPS agreed to keep fire doors closed and music turned down to alleviate disturbance to residents. The complaints continued to be received until September 2008.
Between September 2008 and March 2015 no further complaints were received by Environmental Health. The licence had been varied, on request and without objection, on 24 November 2014 and 4 March 2015.
The first complaint received by Environmental Health, following the variations, was received on 24 March 2015. The complaint was made from the occupier of a flat on Main Street and it was alleged that there was loud music on Friday and Saturday nights and it continued until 02:00 hours in the morning. The resident also complained about loud noise from people on the two rear garden balconies throughout the evening and that this continued until after the music stopped.
Officers investigated the complaint and a letter was sent to the DPS on 30 March 2015 to make him aware of the complaint and to advise that monitoring would be undertaken if further complaints were received. A ... view the full minutes text for item 10. |
