Representing Responsible Authorities:

 

Ms Williamson, Environmental Health Unit, Bradford Council

 

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 proposed date and times of the events were 8 to 10 June 2018 from 1400 to 2300 hours and 4 August 2018 from 1400 to 2000 hours.  The Council’s Environmental Health Unit had objected to the proposed events on the grounds of prevention of public nuisance, as noise complaints had previously been received. 

 

The Council’s Environmental Health Unit representative addressed the Panel explaining that noise complaints were classed as a statutory nuisance and had been received in relation to the Beer Festival since 2015.  The premises had a large car park with residential properties on the boundary and music had been clearly audible approximately 200 metres away.  The Environmental Health Unit had contacted the licensee in 2015 in respect of previous applications and they had been informed that three day events were not acceptable.  In 2016 a local resident had informed the Unit that they did not want the three day event to be permitted.  The Environmental Health Unit representative confirmed that the annual Straw Race was not an issue, however, the Beer Festival in 2017 had been excessively loud from 1400 to 2200 hours on the Friday and continuously from 1500 to 2300 on the Saturday.  Further complaints had been submitted following the event and on 12 June 2017 the Environmental Health Unit had sent a warning letter to the licensee.  On 13 July 2017 the Unit had objected to a Temporary Event Notice for a birthday party at the premises, however, it had been granted by the Panel.  It was noted that local residents were annoyed that events were still taking place at the premises and one complaint had stated that noise from inside the public house could be heard inside residents’ homes.  The Environmental Health Unit representative stated that it was not acceptable for extremely loud music to be played over three days and unreasonable when residential properties were in close proximity to the premises.  There was no reason why music should be played outside the property and if the Temporary Event Notice was granted the Environmental Health Unit would serve an Abatement Notice to prevent the occurrence of a statutory nuisance.

 

The licensing officer clarified to Members that the Environmental Health Unit would be willing to enter into negotiations and would accept some of the proposed events.

 

In response to queries, the Environmental Health Unit representative confirmed that:
