Representations
The Assistant Director, Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented Document “A” which outlined an application for a new premises licence for the sale of alcohol and the provision of regulated entertainment.
It was explained that a local resident who had made representations, which were contained in Document “A”, was not able to attend the meeting. The resident’s letter was recited and concerns about anticipated noise and disturbance were explained.
In response to assertions, made in that letter, that the notification of the proposals had been displayed inappropriately Members were assured that the Licensing Enforcement Officer had inspected the notice and was satisfied that it was correctly displayed. It was also explained that the concerns regarding the potential for chairs and tables to be situated on the pavement was a matter for the Council’s Highways Department.

It was stressed that there had been no objections raised from residents of nearby flats and statements had been received from residents confirming that they were looking forward to the opening of the premises.
In response to questions it was explained that there were an additional two floors of the building located above the bar. Those floors would be converted to boutique hotel rooms. This was a change to previous plans to locate staff accommodation on those floors. It was maintained that consent had been received from the landlord to use the 3rd and 4th floor of the building; discussions were being held about the future use of the accommodation and there was no intention to prejudice the use of those rooms with loud music emanating from the bar.
The location of other premises in the area was discussed and Members were advised that ... view the full minutes text for item 6. |
