Representations:

 

The Interim Assistant Director, Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “J”)

 

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 two representations had been received from local residents who had concerns about street drinking if off sales were allowed, noise and disturbance emanating from the premises and potential litter problems. The representations were appended to Document "J” and summarised by the Licensing Officer.

 

The applicant addressed the meeting and provided background information about the rationale for him and his wife developing a new business in Haworth.  He explained that they lived in the area, were passionate about high quality food and drink and wished to provide a service to the local community which it was not felt was provided elsewhere in the locality.

 

He referred to the business plan they had developed and believed that the people who had made objections had not been aware of the nature of the business proposed.  He stressed that it was not intended to operate the premises as a bar and that the business would be a delicatessen and bistro selling meats and cheeses.  European and local suppliers would be used to provide high quality chacuterie and wine. 

 

The hours requested to sell alcohol were identical to the opening hours of the delicatessen to prevent any confusion but it was not anticipated that many customers would shop for alcohol early in the day. It was hoped that people would purchase alcohol to take home to drink in their own homes and it was not envisaged that customers would purchase expensive wine to drink in the street. The business would not be selling packs of beer or lager available at local supermarkets but may provide specialist ale and beers.

 

It was hoped to tap into the tourist market but first and foremost the business was aimed at the local community and there had been a positive response from residents and other local businesses.

 

The steps which would be taken to address the licensing objectives were included in the report and expanded on as follows: -

 

·         Prevention of Crime and Disorder – the applicant reported his previous experience in the licensed trade and of dealing with difficult customers.  He reported his retail and training knowledge and belief that there was no evidence of anti-social behaviour in the area.  He stated that no representations had been received from responsible authorities.

 

·         Prevention of Public Nuisance – it was stressed that the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 12.
