The Licensing (Hearings) Sub-Committee of Leicester Council is scheduled to consider an application for a new premises licence for Dosti Restaurant and Bar Ltd. The meeting will also include procedural items such as the appointment of a chair.

Application for a New Premises Licence: Dosti Restaurant and Bar Ltd

A significant item on the agenda is the application for a new premises licence for Dosti Restaurant and Bar Ltd, located at 2b Uppingham Road, Leicester, LE5 0QD. The report pack details the proposed licensable activities, which include the supply of recorded music, late-night refreshment, and the supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises. The proposed hours for these activities extend into the early hours of the morning, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays.

The application has generated several representations from members of the public and the Noise team, raising concerns related to the licensing objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm. These representations highlight existing issues in the locality, such as groups congregating outside nearby premises, noise disturbances, littering, and concerns about the impact on children. Some residents have also referenced previous licensing applications in the area and believe that the current proposal could exacerbate existing problems.

The report pack also outlines the conditions that the applicant proposes to implement to promote the licensing objectives, including the installation of a CCTV system, staff training, and the use of a Challenge 25 policy. An agreement has also been reached between the applicant and the Noise team, which includes proposed conditions regarding closing times, amplified music, and waste disposal. The Sub-Committee will need to consider these representations and proposed conditions when determining the application.
