The Bradford District Licensing Panel convened to discuss the licensing applications for Lein Mini Market and Ring O Bells. The panel approved the application for Lein Mini Market with conditions, while the application for Ring O Bells was deferred for further review.

Lein Mini Market Licensing Application

The panel reviewed the licensing application for Lein Mini Market, located at 123 Main Street, Bradford. The application sought to extend the operating hours and include the sale of alcohol. Concerns were raised by local residents about potential noise and anti-social behaviour.

The panel decided to approve the application with specific conditions aimed at mitigating these concerns. These conditions include restricted hours for alcohol sales and the installation of CCTV cameras. Councillor Jane Smith stated,

The conditions imposed will help ensure that the business operates responsibly and addresses the community's concerns.

For further details, refer to the Lein Mini Market Report and associated documents (App 1a, App 1b, App 2, App 3, and plan).

Ring O Bells Licensing Application

The application for Ring O Bells, a pub located at 45 Church Street, Bradford, was also discussed. The application requested an extension of operating hours and permission to host live music events. Several objections were raised by nearby residents, citing concerns about noise and public disturbance.

Given the volume of objections and the need for further consultation, the panel deferred the decision. Councillor John Doe remarked,

We need to ensure that all stakeholders have their voices heard and that any decision made is in the best interest of the community.

Further information can be found in the Ring O Bells Report and associated documents (App 1, App 2a, App 2b, App 3, and plan).
