Representations
The Assistant Director, Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report, Document “H” which explained that following an application for a summary review of the premises licence and an interim hearing on 8 December 2017 the Licensing Authority must consider a full review of the premises licence for Bijou Cocktail Bar.
The report revealed that, at the interim hearing, Members had resolved to suspend the Premises Licence with immediate effect pending full review. The Panel had considered that evidence presented by the West Yorkshire Police, relating to the incident in November 2017 and the potential for future disorder at the premises, was compelling enough to justify the immediate suspension of the Licence, under the prevention of crime and disorder, prevention of public nuisance and promotion of public safety objectives. A copy of that decision was appended to Document H.
Members were advised that during the 10 working day representation period following receipt of the summary review application, the West Yorkshire Police had submitted further information regarding the premises for consideration by Members. West Yorkshire Police had requested the addition of several licence conditions and a reduction in permitted hours. A copy of the letter from West Yorkshire Police was also appended to the report.
It was also explained that letters of representation had also been received from local residents and from Bingley Town Council. The letter from a local resident (and former local business owner) had detailed incidents of alleged anti-social and criminal behaviour outside the premises between August 2015 and August 2017. A copy of the letter of representation was appended to Document H.
The representation from Bingley Town Council had, in the light of the incident occurring in November 2017 and other incidents of alleged criminal behaviour, requested consideration be given to revocation of the Licence. A copy of Bingley Town Council’s letter of representation was also appended to the report.
Members were reminded that when considering the full review application, they may:
a. reinstate the licence but modify the current conditions; b. reinstate the licence but exclude licensable activities from the scope of the licence; c. reinstate the licence but remove the designated premises supervisor from the licence; d. suspend the licence for a further period not exceeding 3 months; e. revoke the premises licence; or f. reinstate the licence on the existing terms.
A representative from West Yorkshire Police, PC Lord, addressed the meeting. He explained that the role of Bradford District ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
