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

 

“Having heard from the Licensing Officer, the applicant and the objector, we do not see how the applicant can control the area of the proposed TEN.

 

We note there is no fencing. We do not consider that the applicant can control the numbers to 499 and it cannot be properly supervised. We have major concerns about the site.

 

We have decided to refuse the application as it undermines at least three of the licensing objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public nuisance and the protection of children from harm.”
