Representations
The Assistant Director Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “E”) which outlined an application for a new premises licence for the sale of alcohol for consumption on and off the premises, the provision of regulated entertainment and the provision of late night refreshment.
The Chair of the Panel asked for clarification in respect of the location of the older persons residential home referred to in the representations received, which was provided and confirmed by the applicant and the local residents present at the hearing.
The applicant then made representations in support of her application, refuting the objections received as she considered that concerns in respect of noise could not be substantiated as the upstairs to the premises had already been soundproofed and the downstairs was in the process of being insulated against noise.

She also stated her support for a new business in the area.
The applicant also considered that two of the objections were of limited relevance as one lived further along the lane than the Black Horse pub and the other was resident in York and did not state whereabouts in Thornton village her parents ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
