Representations
The Interim Assistant Director Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “R”) which outlined an application for the grant of a new Premises Licence for the sale of alcohol for consumption on and off the premises at 68 Main Street, Haworth. The report revealed that there had been five letters of representation received, three from local residents and two from a business which raised concerns of noise nuisance from patrons using the outdoor areas and congregating in the road, anti-social behaviour and criminal damage.
The applicants and their representative addressed the meeting. It was explained that the property at 68 Main Street had been purchased in September 2021 and that it had been a licensed premise at that time. The previous hours of operation had been 1100 to 2300. It was explained that the freehold of the property had been purchased but not the business and when the applicant contacted the Licensing Authority to change the name on the licence she was advised that it had been surrendered and a new application would have to be made.
The applicant explained that she was a personal licence holder and that she had operated Cobbles and Clay, a 100 seater café business next door to the new premises on Haworth Main Street, for over 15 years. Her premises had an entertainment licence although no entertainment was provided; strict closing hours were adhered to and not one complaint had been made about the premises whilst in operation.

The applicants were old friends one of which resided in the flat above 68 Main Street. The rationale for the hours requested to serve alcohol were in line with other premises in the area and were to cease earlier than some businesses which had objected to the application.
In response to objections raised the applicant’s representative made the following comments-
· There had been confusion about a planning application for land at the existing business and the premises licence under consideration. · Information from a local website (tabled at the meeting) depicted very low statistics for crime and disorder. Monthly reports between January and October 2021 revealed no incidents on Main Street. · The area was cobbled and it would be very difficult to drive at high speeds causing anti-social behaviour.
