The applicant’s representative addressed the Licensing Sub-Committee.

 

The Regulatory Services Manager asked a question of the applicant’s representative.

 

Further to this discussion, the Licensing Sub-Committee AGREED the following:

 

“To refuse the application to vary the Premises Licence.

 

Having heard from the Licensing Officer, a representative from Environmental Health, the applicant’s representative and applicant, there are concerns about public nuisance as the music/noise can be heard by residents in flats above the premises.  It has been noted that Planning Services object to the application.  It is noted that the planning application for change of use has not been received by the council and in our view, the planning application should be dealt with before consideration is given to an application to vary the premises licence.

 

We do not think the applicant has demonstrated any special circumstances to justify a departure from this policy in the face of representations from the local authority.”
