Application for a New Premises Licence - 10 Herten Way, Doncaster

The application sought permission for the sale of late-night refreshment, both on and off the premises, from Monday to Sunday between 11pm and 5am.

One member of the public submitted a representation expressing concerns about potential public nuisance and crime if the licence were granted. The concerns focused on noise and disturbance late at night from people visiting the premises:

I am concerned about the potential for noise and disturbance from customers using the external area of the premises late at night... I believe that the granting of this application would have a detrimental impact on the amenity of the area.

In response, the Licensing Manager reported that the applicant had agreed to several conditions to mitigate these concerns, including the installation of CCTV and the appointment of a designated premises supervisor.

After considering the application, the representation, and the proposed conditions, the Licensing Committee resolved to grant the licence. They noted that:

• The applicant had agreed to conditions to address the objector's concerns.
• There was no evidence to suggest that granting the licence would lead to an increase in crime and disorder in the area.
• The premises was located in a mixed-use area, and it was not unreasonable for a hot food takeaway to operate until 5am.

The meeting concluded at 10.17am.

This concludes the summary of this week's council meetings.
