Minutes:
The Interim Assistant Director Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “I”) which outlined an application for the grant of a Premises Licence for the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises.
It was reported that the applicant’s representative had indicated that the proposed DPS was to change from Mr Morad Omer to Mr Hemen Ahmad Hussein . West Yorkshire Trading Standards had no objection to the new DPS.
A member asked whether there was an existing license for the premises before the applicant took over. The Licensing Officer was not aware of any license.
A member asked whether a planning application had been made for a change of use of the premises. The Licensing Officer noted that the Planning Department had been notified of the application and had made no representations.
The applicant’s representative advised the Panel that he had not been involved in the completion of the original application and had only recently been aware of the application. He confirmed that Mr Omer had rightly been withdrawn as the DPS. He added that the premises would be open 24 hours a day and the application to sell alcohol was for 24 hours however the applicant would agree to change the application for the sale of alcohol to 05.00 am to 02.00 am. He sought clarification from Environmental Health as it appeared that they wanted other trading to be from 05.00 am to 02.00 am and not 24 hours.
The Chair noted that the application did not include steps proposed by the applicant to address the Licensing Objective of Protection of children from harm and asked whether the applicant would accept a condition that he operate Challenge 25.
In clarifying the opening hours of the premises the applicant’s representative confirmed that the applicant would agree to the sale of alcohol from 05.00 am to 02.00 am. It was noted that Environmental Health recommended that the business should open no earlier than 05.00 am and close no later than midnight. The applicant’s representative pointed out the other businesses in the area operated 24hours and requested that this business operate the same as others in the area.
In response to a member’s questions the applicant’s representative indicated that 5 to 8 people would work in the shop selling alcohol and that it would be unusual to have the DPS present during all trading hours.
The applicant’s representative responded to questions from the Council’s Legal representative as follows:
· The applicant had no previous experience in the licensing trade but had experience in retail. He has gone through training and passed the Award for Personal License Holders (APLH) exam. He would put in place Challenge 25 and staff would be on the premises who could operate the CCTV. · The DPS Mr Hussein was a license holder and Trading Standards had raised no objection. · Mr Hussein had an industry registered training manual that covered Challenge 25 and other restricted products. Staff had to sign to say that they understood ... view the full minutes text for item 9. |
