The Licensing Sub-Committee of Doncaster Council is scheduled to consider an objection to a Temporary Event Notice for Wilby Carr Community Centre. The meeting documents outline the procedure for this consideration and the details of the application.

Objection to Temporary Event Notice at Wilby Carr Community Centre

The primary item scheduled for discussion is an objection notice to a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) for Wilby Carr Community Centre on Aldesworth Road, Cantley, Doncaster. The TEN, submitted by Colin Boyle on behalf of the Wilby Carr Community Boxing Club, seeks to authorise the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises and the provision of regulated entertainment, specifically an amateur boxing show, on 9 October 2026, between 12:00 and 23:00.

The objection has been raised by South Yorkshire Police on the grounds of preventing public nuisance and public safety. The police cite significant number and nature of incidents associated with the previous event which required considerable police involvement due to large-scale disturbances. They are requesting that the application be rejected due to concerns about the potential impact on public safety and the prevention of crime and disorder.

The report pack details that the procedure for considering such an objection is set out in the Licensing Act 2003 and associated regulations. The Sub-Committee is required to determine the matter having regard to the objection notice and the evidence presented. The existing premises licence for Wilby Carr Community Centre permits recorded music and performance of dance between 09:00 and 23:00. The report also includes appendices with a summary of the application, a location plan, and a copy of the TEN application itself.

The meeting will be chaired by Councillor Gerald Squire, with Councillors Nick Allen and Neil Wood also in attendance. The meeting is scheduled to be filmed for broadcast via the Council's website.
