Reasons for the
decision
 
The application for a premises licence has
been approved as members of the Licensing Sub-Committee were
satisfied that the licensing objectives would not be
undermined. 
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration that
there were 2 objections from Other Persons (local residents), and
the other Responsible Authorities made no representations.
 
The Sub-Committee took into account that the
Licensing Authority had agreed with the Applicant to reduce the
winding down period by 30 minutes in advance of the hearing and
withdrew their objection.
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration the
consultation issue that was administered in accordance with the
Licensing Act 2003 (Premises licences and club premises
certificates) Regulations 2005. There is no requirement to send
notices to nearby addresses to advertise a licence application.
 
The Sub-Committee considered the objections,
and on balance after hearing the representations from the parties
and considering the written representations they decided that the
application would not undermine the licensing objectives.
 
The Sub-Committee took into account that there
was a significant reduction of the capacity from 300 to 100. They
also took into consideration that there were no other objections
from the other Responsible Authorities and that the outside area

Sub-Committee was satisfied that the Applicant demonstrated that
the premise would be run responsibly.
