Effective from: 12/04/2022
Decision:
Resolved –
That having considered all valid representations made by the parties to the hearing; valid written representations received during the statutory period, the published statement of licensing policy and relevant statutory guidance; the panel grants the application, in part, and allows the variation of the licence for the sale of alcohol on and off the premises on Sunday 11.00 to 12.00 noon. However, in light of the compelling evidence of persistent nuisance related to the premises the application for variation of the licence for the sale of alcohol on and off the premises and the extension of the opening hours on Friday and Saturday is refused.

considered that the above refusal is necessary to
minimise noise disturbance; to deter and ameliorate anti-social

Decision:
Resolved –
That having considered all valid representations made by the parties to the hearing; valid written representations received during the statutory period; the published statement of licensing policy and relevant statutory guidance; the panel, on the evidence which has been heard, is not satisfied that conditions on the Premises Licence or measures proposed by the licence holder would prevent criminal activity continuing or that the licence holder has the ability to promote the licensing objectives. The application is, therefore, refused.
Reason – It is considered that the refusal is appropriate and proportionate to ensure promotion ofthe Prevention of Crime and Disorder objective and the Protection of Children from Harm objective of the Licensing Act 2003.
