Representations
The Interim Assistant Director, Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “D”).
The licensing officer in attendance summarised the background to the application and valid representations received as set out in the report.

The Licensing Officer explained that Section 190 of the Licensing Act 2003 provided that the sale of alcohol was to be treated as taking place where the alcohol wasappropriated to the contract. It was explained that it would be the premises at this location which needed to be licensed. As an example it was reported that a call centre receiving orders for alcohol would not need a licence but the warehouse where the alcohol was stored and specifically selected for, and despatched to, the purchaser would need to be ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
