The Licensing Sub-Committee B of Carmarthenshire Council is scheduled to consider a variation to a premises licence for Chick King, located at 32 Lammas Street, Carmarthen. The committee will review the application and any representations made by relevant authorities and interested parties.

Variation of Premises Licence for Chick King

The main item on the agenda is the consideration of a variation to the premises licence for Chick King, located at 32 Lammas Street, Carmarthen. The application, submitted by Dogan Ozyurt, seeks to alter the existing licence.

Specifically, the proposed changes include:

• Reducing late-night refreshment hours on Thursdays and Fridays to between 23:00 and 00:00 on Thursdays, and 23:00 and 01:00 on Fridays.
• Increasing late-night refreshment hours on Saturdays, Bank Holidays, Boxing Day, and New Year's Eve to between 23:00 and 04:30.
• Removing the requirement for door supervisors on Fridays.

The committee is expected to consider representations from various bodies, including the Licensing Authority, Environmental Health, and Dyfed Powys Police. The Licensing Authority has noted previous enforcement actions regarding the display of licence documents and the employment of door supervisors. They also highlight that Lammas Street, Carmarthen is identified in the council's Licensing Policy as a hot spot for alcohol-related crime and disorder, and that a Cumulative Impact Assessment applies to premises on this street. The Licensing Authority believes that granting further licences in this area could be inconsistent with their duty to promote licensing objectives.

Environmental Health has raised concerns about potential noise impact and has recommended conditions related to customer dispersal, keeping external doors and windows closed after 22:00, and managing waste and delivery vehicle noise.

Dyfed Powys Police have also made representations, requesting robust conditions to promote the licensing objectives. These include requirements for a full CCTV system, ensuring no noise disturbance or anti-social behaviour affects residents, preventing loitering outside the premises, and promptly notifying the police of any incidents.

The applicant, Dogan Ozyurt, has indicated agreement with the representations made by Environmental Health and Dyfed Powys Police. The committee will need to be satisfied that granting the variation will not undermine the licensing objectives. The meeting documents, including the public reports pack¹ and agenda², provide further details on the application and the representations received.
