The Licensing (Hearings) Sub-Committee is scheduled to consider two applications for premises licences. These include a new application for the Glassy Club and a variation to the existing licence for Emvee Lounge.

Application for a New Premises Licence - Glassy Club, Green Lane Road, Leicester

The Sub-Committee is scheduled to consider an application for a new premises licence for the Glassy Club, located at Green Lane Road, Leicester. The report pack indicates that this application follows a previous licence revocation for the same premises. The Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service has submitted a representation objecting to the application on grounds of public safety, citing an outstanding enforcement notice against the premises. The applicant, Mr Dityang Arvind, is seeking to operate with hours and licensable activities similar to the previous licence. The report pack details the proposed hours for live and recorded music, supply of alcohol, and opening hours. It also outlines the steps the applicant proposes to take to promote the licensing objectives, including the installation of a CCTV system, an incident log, and training for staff on responsible alcohol sales and the Challenge 25 policy.

Application for a Variation of an Existing Premises Licence - Emvee Lounge, c/o Latimer Ward Conservative Inst LTD, Surrey Street, Leicester

The committee will also consider an application to vary the existing premises licence for Emvee Lounge, located at Surrey Street, Leicester. The proposed variation seeks to extend the opening hours and licensable activities, including live and recorded music, indoor sporting events, late-night refreshment, and the supply of alcohol. Representations have been received from local residents concerned about potential public nuisance, including noise, shouting, and car doors slamming, which they believe will disrupt their quality of sleep and life. The Noise & Pollution Control Team has also raised concerns regarding unregulated amplified music and the potential for statutory nuisance. An agreement has been reached with the applicant, Mr Mansukhlal Sangani, to include conditions such as the installation of a noise-limiting device, restrictions on delivery times, and the requirement for external doors to remain shut during amplified music or speech. The report pack also includes character references for Mr Sangani from the Secretary of the Latimer Ward Conservative Club and a local bar owner.
