The Licensing Sub Committee of Cardiff Council was scheduled to consider an application for a personal licence. The meeting's agenda indicated that the primary item for discussion was an application for the grant of a personal licence by Nishan Maan James Singh.

Application for a Personal Licence

The committee was scheduled to review an application for a personal licence submitted by Nishan Maan James Singh. According to the report pack, Mr. Singh had provided all necessary documentation as required by the Licensing Act 2003. However, the application was subject to an objection from South Wales Police due to the applicant's conviction history. The report pack detailed that the Chief Officer of Police had submitted an objection notice, as permitted under Section 120(5) of the Licensing Act 2003, if they are satisfied that granting the licence would undermine the crime prevention objective.

The committee was to consider the application and the police representations. Under Section 120 of the Licensing Act 2003, the Sub-Committee has the power to either reject the application if deemed necessary for the promotion of the crime prevention objective, or grant it in all other cases. The report pack outlined that any decision made by the Sub-Committee must be within the legal powers of the Council, comply with procedural requirements, be fully informed, properly motivated, and reasonable in all the circumstances. The details of Mr. Singh's conviction history were to be circulated at the meeting.

The meeting was scheduled to take place on Wednesday, 3 June 2026, at 10:00 AM in CR 4, County Hall. The membership of the Licensing Sub Committee for this meeting included Councillor Ferguson-Thorne (Chairperson), Councillor Livesy, and Councillor Driscoll. Harry Mayo and Councillor Maliika Kaaba were also listed as attendees.
