Summary
The Licensing Sub Committee of Calderdale Council met on Friday 21 June 2024 to discuss an application for a variation of the premises licence for Tazz Convenience. The committee decided to approve the application with specific conditions aimed at addressing public concerns.
Application for Variation - Tazz Convenience
The primary focus of the meeting was the application for variation of the premises licence for Tazz Convenience, a local shop located in Halifax. The application sought to extend the hours for the sale of alcohol and to include the provision of late-night refreshments.
Public Concerns and Objections
Several objections were raised by local residents and businesses, which were documented in Appendix 4 - Objections. The primary concerns included potential increases in noise, anti-social behaviour, and littering. One resident stated, Extending the hours will only exacerbate the existing issues we face with noise and disturbances late at night.
Arguments For and Against
The applicant argued that the extended hours would meet the demand of customers who work late shifts and would help the business remain competitive. They assured the committee that measures would be put in place to mitigate any negative impacts, such as increased security and regular litter patrols.
On the other hand, objectors highlighted the potential for increased disturbances. A local business owner noted, We already deal with a significant amount of litter and noise. Extending the hours will make it unbearable.
Decision and Conditions
After deliberation, the committee decided to approve the application with specific conditions to address the public's concerns. These conditions include:
- Installation of additional CCTV cameras.
- Employment of a security guard during the extended hours.
- Regular litter patrols within a 100-metre radius of the premises.
The committee emphasised that these conditions are essential to balance the needs of the business with the well-being of the local community.
