The Licensing Sub Committee is scheduled to consider an application for a personal licence. The committee will review the details of the application, including any objections raised by the police.

Application for a Personal Licence

The committee is scheduled to consider an application for the grant of a personal licence by Nishan Maan James Singh. The report pack indicates that Mr. Singh has provided all the necessary documentation as required by the Licensing Act 2003. However, it also states that South Wales Police have objected to the application due to information disclosed regarding the applicant's conviction history. The report pack notes that details of this conviction history will be circulated at the meeting.

Under Section 120 of the Licensing Act 2003¹, the Chief Officer of Police can submit an objection notice if they believe granting a licence would undermine the crime prevention objective. The Sub-Committee, after considering any police representations, 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 also outlines the legal considerations for the Sub-Committee's decision-making process, emphasising that any determination must be within the Council's legal powers, comply with procedural requirements, be fully informed, properly motivated, and reasonable in all the circumstances.

The report pack for this meeting can be found at Public reports pack 03rd-Jun-2026 10.00 Licensing Sub Committee. The agenda frontsheet is available at Agenda frontsheet 03rd-Jun-2026 10.00 Licensing Sub Committee.
