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 application was for an event to be held on 6 August 2017 from 1400 to 2000 hours and the Council’s Environmental Health Unit had submitted an objection on public nuisance grounds, as noise complaints had been received in June 2017 along with similar complaints in 2015 and 2016.

 

The applicant addressed the Panel and explained that the original booking had been for a birthday party, which had turned into a fund raising event with bands playing outside.  It was noted that the premises ran two events per year, one being a music festival and the other the ‘Straw Race’.  The business owner stated that the objection related to the music festival, which had been running for 3 years and this event would be smaller and conclude at 2000 hours.  The applicant confirmed that the event would run from 1500 to 1900 and the additional hour prior to and after was to set up and clear away.  The business owner stated that the event would not create a huge inconvenience to residents.  The pub had been rescued from closure and noise levels would increase if the pub was successful.

 

In response to questions from the Panel, the applicant and business owner confirmed that:

 

·         The person holding the event was a technician and would ensure that the entertainment noise was kept to the car park and not the village.

·         The stage orientation would be towards the cricket pitch.

·         The pub had two neighbours and one set would be attending the event.

·         The premises was centrally located in the village and on the main road from Haworth to Hebden Bridge.

·         It was a busy pub and various groups used it for events.  

·         The event would run from 1500 to 1900 hours, with an hour set up from 1400 hours and an hour clear up from 1900 hours.

·         The car park could hold approximately 12 cars, it was irregular shaped and the main space faced onto the cricket field.

 

The representative of the Council’s Environmental Health Unit requested clarification in relation to the number of outdoor events held per year and was informed that three events took place, but only one involved music and this was not the Straw Race.  In response to a further question, the applicant confirmed that music had been played at this year’s Straw Race.
