The Licensing (Hearings) Sub-Committee of Leicester Council is scheduled to consider an application for a variation of an existing premises licence. The meeting will focus on the details of this application, including any representations made.

Application for Variation of Premises Licence at Jas News & Booze

The main item scheduled for discussion is an application for a variation of an existing premises licence for Jas News & Booze, located at 72 Burnham Drive, Leicester. This application has been submitted by the Director of Neighbourhood and Environmental Services. The report pack includes several appendices detailing the application, the current premises licence, representations from the police, and other relevant information.

The applicant will then present their case, followed by further questions. The process concludes with summing up statements from various parties before the Sub-Committee makes its decision in private. The decision will be made public within five working days of the meeting.

The report pack includes:

  • Appendix A - Application1
