Minutes: Representations:
The Interim Assistant Director, Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “H”)
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 three letters of representation had been received from local residents who had concerns about noise nuisance from entertainment and from patrons leaving the premises late at night. Residents were concerned that even with doors and windows at the premises being closed music would still be audible inside their homes. The representations were appended to Document "H” and summarised by the Licensing Officer.
The applicant’s representative addressed the meeting and provided background information about previous involvement, supplying amusement machines and juke boxes, at the premises at a time that the business had been well managed. He clarified the rationale for him becoming involved at the current time which was to bring the Barley Mow back to life as a community public house providing food and alcohol and advised Members of his experience running two other licensed premises. He reported that he had spoken to local residents and had sympathy with the experiences they had encountered with previous noise disturbance. He provided assurances that those issues would not be repeated as there would be no disco type music. He also provided assurances that he would step outside of the premises whilst regulated entertainment was taking place to ensure noise could not be heard outside.
The level of investment made in the premises was discussed including the provision of a new kitchen; redecoration and new upholstery. The applicant’s representative also volunteered to amend the hours which customers could use the outside areas and explained arrangements made for patrons to utilise the area at the front of the premises. That location was at the side of a busy main road and further from residential properties. He concluded his opening statement by reporting that he too would have objected to the way the premises had been run previously. He stressed that his previous involvement with the premises had been before the issues raised by local residents had occurred.
Following the applicant’s opening statement Members referred to a map of the location and questioned the proximity of the premises to residential properties and the nature of land to the side of the building. In response it was reported that land at the side of the premises belonged to the business, however, there was a right of way to the car park and properties to the rear.
The organisation of outside smoking areas was queried and it was clarified that the area at the rear of the premises, where patrons would smoke, was closed prior to regulated entertainment commencing at 20.00 hours. A new seating area had been created at the front of the building with decking and tables to be used as a smoking area. That area would also have the benefit of a covered canopy.
In response to questions it was confirmed ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
