Summary

The Licensing Sub Board will meet to discuss an application to vary an existing premises licence. This variation would allow the business to sell late night refreshment. Three representations from members of the public were received in respect of the application.

Premises Licence Variation Application for B'eat Burger, 80 High Street, Gosport

The Licensing Sub Board will be asked to consider an application to vary the premises licence of B'eat Burger on 80 High Street, Gosport. The application was made by Generations 2019 LTD.

The application seeks to vary the licence to allow the business to sell late night refreshment 1 between the hours of 11pm and 4am, seven days a week. The applicant proposes to continue selling alcohol for consumption on the premises between 10am and 10pm, as per their current licence.

Three representations from local residents were received during the consultation period. The representations cited all four licensing objectives 2 as reasons to refuse the application.

The Licensing Act 2003 specifically restricts the grounds on which the Council, as Licensing Authority (LA), may refuse an application for a Premises Licence, or impose conditions. Where relevant representations are made, the LA may refuse on the grounds that the licensing objectives are not met or the operating schedule is inadequate.
