Representations
The Assistant Director Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “K”) which outlined an application for variation of a Premises Licence to remove existing conditions 17 and 18 which prevented the consumption of alcohol and food in external areas after 9.00pm and the taking of food or drink in opened bottles, glasses or other receptacles outside the premises after 9.00pm.
The Panel was advised that an objection to the application had been made by Environmental Health on grounds of noise.

In response, the solicitor advised that the applicant was content to keep the hours set out in condition 13, which meant a terminal hour of 11.00pm; he was uncertain of the juxtaposition of the premises and the road but thought that external seating was to the front of the premises on Albion Road and that the premises took up half of ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
