Minutes: The Interim Assistant Director Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “E”) which outlined an application for the grant of a new Premises Licence for the provision of late night refreshment to take place indoors and outdoors. It was noted that representations had been received from the Bradford West Area Co-ordinator and a local resident.
The applicant’s spokesperson attended the meeting along with the applicant who was responsible for a number of Taco Bell outlets. He explained that the business was fresh food prepared quickly with 7,000 companies worldwide. He added that this franchise was Northern England and that many operated 24 hrs a day 7 days a week and that there had never been a review or censure at any of them.
He stated that his client was a responsible applicant. The store was open and trading until 2300 and was currently limited to deliveries as groundwork was being completed. They were hoping to open fully shortly. He explained how the licensing objectives would be addressed and that they had not previously been found wanting. He added that the premises were well lit, had CCTV and already had conditions in respect of noise.
He explained the location of other premises with late night or 24 hour licenses. He added that there was parking on site. He stated that there were residential properties on the other side of the road but that the activities would not cause a nuisance. The premises had an external area with picnic tables but principally it would operate as collection and delivery. There had been increased demand for deliveries around the clock and three shifts would be in operation.
He noted that it was creating a night time business that was not alcohol led and that promoted the diversity of Bradford and provided a variety of jobs. No request was being made for recorded music and the activities would not cause a nuisance in themselves.
He assured members that the premises would be monitored and any issues would be addressed. He added that the operation of a Late Night Refreshment licence did not automatically cause noise and that the operator was experienced in running such premises.
He added that the issue of cumulative impact could be raised but that would be very big step to take and that Bradford’s Licencing Policy did not identify any such area in its assessment. He referred to paragraph 8.6 of Bradford’s Licensing Policy adding that if it was minded to consider the threshold was high then evidence would have to be produced.
He added that the residential objector did not live locally and that the application would not affect them. He noted the concerns that had been raised by objectors and explained that steps were in place regarding cleaning and removal of litter from the curtilage of the premises. He concluded that the concerns raised by the objectors were based on fears and he hoped he had given some assurance regarding this.
