The Licensing Act Sub Committee of Cornwall Council is scheduled to convene virtually on Wednesday 28 October 2026. The primary focus of the meeting is a review of a premises licence for Central Grill 2, located at 9 Calenick Street, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2SF. The committee will also consider excluding the press and public for certain agenda items due to the potential disclosure of exempt information.
Review of Central Grill 2 Premises Licence
A significant item on the agenda is the scheduled review of the premises licence for Central Grill 2, situated at 9 Calenick Street, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2SF. The report pack for this meeting includes extensive documentation, spanning pages 6 to 96, which will be available for the committee's consideration. The procedure for this hearing, as outlined in the committee's documents, involves several stages, including the presentation of the matter by the Licensing Service, representations from responsible authorities and other interested parties, and the presentation of the respondent's case. The committee members will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout this process. The meeting's procedure also details that the Sub-Committee may retire to obtain legal advice before making a decision.
The committee's agenda also includes standard procedural items. These are the election of a Chairman for the meeting, the consideration of apologies for absence, and the declaration of interests by committee members. Additionally, there is provision for any other business that the Chairman deems urgent, though this requires a formal written report and a clear explanation of the special circumstances making it urgent, as per the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 19721. The committee will also consider a resolution to exclude the press and public from the meeting for specific business, citing grounds related to the disclosure of exempt information concerning individuals and the prevention, investigation, or prosecution of crime, in accordance with the Local Government Act 19722.
The members of the Licensing Act Sub Committee scheduled to attend are Councillor John Martin (Lib Dem), Councillor Paul Cador (Reform), and Councillor Brian Clemens (Ind).3
