PRESENT
Members of the Panel Bradford District Licensing Panel – Councillors Slater (Ch), Cunningham and Davies
Representing the Applicant Mr Shiraz – applicant
Representing Responsible Authorities Ms Howarth – Environmental Health officer
The Interim Assistant Director Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “C”) which outlined an application for the grant of a new Premises Licence for the provision of late night refreshment to take place indoors. Members were also advised of the representation that had been received from the Environmental Health Officer objecting to the application and requesting that it be refused.
The applicant attended the hearing and spoke in support of his application, explaining that he had very recently opened the business after many years working as a taxi driver. As the business was struggling somewhat, he had made the application to extend his potential opening times. He also stated that there was considerable demand for later opening for his customers, including taxi drivers and business owners returning late in the evening to Bradford after their own business hours had ended. He acknowledged the concern raised by the Environmental Health Officer in respect of double yellow lines around the premises but stated that the pavement was very wide and could accommodate two or three cars. He also advised that an accountancy firm across the road from his premises had no objection to customers using his car park after his business had closed for the day.
The Chair clarified with the applicant that he appreciated that the current restriction on his planning permission meant that, even if this application was granted, he would not be able to trade after 2300 unless the planning permission was amended.
The applicant advised that his landlord had not appreciated that and suggested just trading via deliveries until the situation was resolved but it was again clarified with him that no business activity at all could take place until such time as the planning permission was changed.
The Chair queried whether a late night refreshment licence permitted trade by collection and was advised that it did as the supply of refreshments took place indoors.
A panel member also questioned whether the agreement with the accountancy firm was in writing. He was advised that it wasn’t as it had been very recently reached.
The panel’s legal advisor then asked a series of questions, including whether there were double yellow lines on Manningham Lane; how long the applicant had been running his business and whether there were residential properties nearby.
In response the applicant stated that there were double yellow lines on Manningham Lane; that he had been operating this business for only two months, having previously been a taxi driver and that there were residential properties nearby but that these premises were detached. ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
