The Licensing (Hearings) Sub-Committee was scheduled to consider an application for a review of an existing premises licence for the Glassy Club. The meeting agenda also included the confirmation of minutes from previous meetings.

Application for a Review of an Existing Premises Licence - Glassy Club

The Sub-Committee was scheduled to consider an application for a review of the existing premises licence for the Glassy Club located at Green Lane Road, Leicester, LE5 3TH. The review application was submitted by Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Authority on the grounds of public safety and the protection of children from harm.

The report indicated that Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Authority had concerns that the licence holder, Praveshkumar Macan, appeared to be subletting the premises to another individual, Arvind Madov, who was allegedly failing to maintain fire safety duties under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Act 2005. Specific concerns raised included a lack of a working fire alarm, a fire risk assessment, and management of fire safety. Issues with emergency lighting, electrical safety, and the structural integrity of the ceiling, exposing floorboards to flats above, were also noted. Furthermore, the application highlighted extreme mould within the premises and concerns about fire separation between the commercial area and the flats above.

The report also detailed that two of the exits had been blocked off, leaving only one, which would restrict the premises' use to 60 people under fire safety legislation. The manual call point next to the only exit had reportedly been taped over. The licence holder, Praveshkumar Macan, was reportedly not contactable, and Arvind Madov, who identified himself as a joint leaseholder, was unable to provide requested fire safety documentation. It was also noted that a previous Deficiency Notice issued to Praveshkumar Macan in 2024 had not been addressed.

The report outlined the potential decisions the Sub-Committee could make, including rejecting the review application, modifying licence conditions, excluding a licensable activity, removing the designated premises supervisor, suspending the licence, or revoking the licence.
