Minutes: Members of the Panel:
The Interim Assistant Director, Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “B”) The licensing officer in attendance summarised the background to the application and valid representations received as set out in the report. Members were advised that four of the representations that had been received from local residents had been withdrawn which left only one representation.
The applicant addressed that Panel and explained that his intention was to run a small capacity venue with restaurant level acoustic entertainment. The premises landlord was in attendance and was content with the arrangements. He added that he had received an acoustic report that recommended levels between 48 and 50 decibels and that the level had been recorded at 49 which was within the acceptable level.
The premises landlord attended the meeting and advised the Panel that he had communicated with the residents and stressed that he did not want a rowdy bar because of the close proximity to their dwellings above. He confirmed that all of the tenants had been consulted about the proposals and were content as long as the operating hours were adhered to. He was unsure why one objection still remained.
The applicant confirmed that he had 14 years experience in the licensing business and that experience door staff would be employed.
In response to a question regarding sound proofing between the premises and the flats above the applicant confirmed that following receipt f the acoustic report ceiling tiles had been fitted that would further reduce sound levels.
The applicant was asked about people leaving the premises and those leaving the premised to smoke and responded that door supervisors would be employed at the weekend and that contact had been made with a local taxi firm to respond to requests for taxis promptly to avoid patrons waiting outside the premises. He drew members attention to the fact that the premises was opposite a burger bar and desert place both of which generated noise but that signage would be in place regarding noise levels.
The applicant responded to a member question that the bar would have a capacity of 30 and that his intention was that it would be a place to go for a quiet drink. He added that there were no windows in the premises and that the door would be closed at all times. The premises was air conditioned. The fans for the air conditioning were in the back yard and had been in place a number of years. He confirmed that the music would consist of one singer and a guitar with no amplified sound.
In response to a question why the remaining objector had not withdrawn their representation the landlord advised members that this may have been because she was to move house in two weeks.
