Summary
The Licensing Sub-Committee of Trafford Council met on Wednesday 12 June 2024 to discuss several key issues, including the application for a new premises licence for in-Five, a proposed late-night venue in Altrincham. The committee approved the application with conditions, following extensive discussions on public safety and noise control.
Application for New Premises Licence for in-Five
The primary focus of the meeting was the application for a new premises licence for in-Five, a proposed late-night venue located in Altrincham. The application, detailed in Appendix A, sought permission to operate until 2 AM on weekends and midnight on weekdays.
Public Safety Concerns
Public safety was a significant concern raised during the meeting. The committee discussed measures to ensure the safety of patrons, including the installation of CCTV cameras and the presence of trained security staff. Councillors highlighted the importance of these measures in preventing incidents and ensuring a safe environment for all visitors.
Noise Control Measures
Noise control was another critical issue, with several local residents expressing concerns about potential disturbances. The Environmental Health Representation, found in Appendix C, recommended specific noise mitigation strategies. These included soundproofing measures and restrictions on outdoor music. The committee agreed to these recommendations, emphasising the need to balance business interests with residents' quality of life.
Decision and Conditions
After considering the arguments for and against the application, the committee approved the licence with several conditions. These conditions included the implementation of the recommended noise control measures and the requirement for a dispersal policy to manage patrons leaving the venue late at night. One councillor noted, The conditions imposed are designed to mitigate the potential negative impacts on the community while allowing the business to thrive.
Other Business
Other items on the agenda were less significant and included routine matters such as the approval of previous meeting minutes and administrative updates. These were swiftly addressed without extensive discussion.
