Representations
The Assistant Director Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “M”) which outlined an application for variation of a Premises Licence to include the upper floor of the premises in the licensable area.
Members were advised that two representations had been received from local residents in respect of concerns about increased noise and disturbance from the additional licensed area.
The applicant made a statement in support of his application, advising that the ground floor of the bistro was too small to accommodate tables so a decision had been made to open the upper floor which would provide seating for eighteen patrons only.
He noted that the two complaints had been received from addresses some distance from the bistro and that nearby neighbours had not complained. He explained that he lived near the bistro and was well known in the community so he had no desire to create difficulties in his own neighbourhood.
In response to member questions he confirmed that there was no space for tables on the ground floor which accommodated a waiting area and small bar only; that he had installed sound proofing and double glazing to the premises and that he had no plans to have live music at the premises.
The panel’s legal advisor ascertained through questioning that · the bistro was not yet in operation · the intention to seat eighteen people had been the original proposal, the only difference was that patrons would now be seated upstairs instead of down. · Patrons in the ground floor waiting area would be served alcohol only if they were going on to dine at the premises. · There were no plans to run a takeaway service as the bistro was intended to be a destination venue. · There was on-street parking with no restrictions along Leeds Road · There were other businesses nearby such as an estate agent, beautician and dry cleaner. · The bistro would open in the evening only during the week and during the day and evening at the weekend. · The applicant had canvassed neighbours to ensure there were no problems The applicant made a closing statement to the effect that he intended to run a high quality, small establishment and that it was not in his interests to disturb anyone in the locality.
Resolved -
That having considered all valid representations made by the parties to the hearing; valid written representations received during the statutory period; the published statement of licensing policy and relevant statutory guidance, the panel grants the application.
