The Licensing and Appeals Sub Committee Hearing Panel meeting was scheduled to consider an application for the renewal of a street trader's licence. The meeting's agenda also included provisions for urgent business and appeals against the refusal to allow inspection of background documents or the inclusion of items in the confidential part of the agenda.

Application for Street Trader's Licence Renewal

The panel was scheduled to consider an application for the renewal of a street trader's licence for Jza's Ices (Mister Softee), located at 146 Derbyshire Lane, Stretford, M32 8DU. The report of the Director of Planning, Building Control and Licensing was attached for consideration.

Urgent Business and Appeals

The agenda indicated that the committee would consider any urgent business that the Chair had agreed to submit. Additionally, the panel was scheduled to address any appeals lodged by members of the public concerning the refusal to permit the inspection of background documents or the inclusion of specific items within the confidential section of the agenda.

Declarations of Interest and Exclusion of the Public

Members of the committee were scheduled to have an opportunity to declare any personal, prejudicial, or disclosable pecuniary interests they might have in any of the agenda items. They were also to record any items from which they were precluded from voting due to Council Tax or council rent arrears, and to declare the existence and nature of any party whipping arrangements. The agenda also noted that officers considered certain items to contain exempt information, and the committee was recommended to agree to resolutions excluding the public from the meeting during the consideration of these items, as the public interest in maintaining the exemption was deemed to outweigh the public interest in disclosure.
