The Licensing Sub Committee of Cardiff Council was scheduled to consider an application for a new premises licence for Fed Restaurant Group Ltd. The meeting's agenda also included a report on urgent items, though none were specified.

Application for Premises Licence: Fed Restaurant, Llandaff Road

The committee was scheduled to discuss an application for a Premises Licence for Fed Restaurant Group Ltd, located at 72A Llandaff Road, Pontcanna, Cardiff, CF11 9NL. The application sought permission for the sale of alcohol for consumption on and off the premises, and for the provision of late-night refreshment indoors.

The proposed operating hours for the premises were:

• Sunday to Wednesday: 09:00 to 23:30
• Thursday to Saturday: 09:00 to 00:00

The licensable activities were proposed to run during the following hours:

• Sale of alcohol (on and off the premises):
  • Sunday to Wednesday: 09:00 to 23:00
  • Thursday to Saturday: 09:00 to 23:30
• Late-night refreshment (indoors):
  • Thursday to Saturday: 23:00 to 23:30

The report pack indicated that the applicant had proposed additional conditions to meet the four licensing objectives: Prevention of crime and disorder, Public safety, Prevention of public nuisance, and Protection of children from harm.

Representations were received from South Wales Police and Pollution Control. However, the report indicated that the applicant had agreed to the conditions proposed by both South Wales Police and Pollution Control, leading to the withdrawal of their formal representations.

A representation was also received from other persons, identified as a local resident. This resident expressed concerns regarding intermittent noise issues, customer parking on private roads causing access difficulties, and intoxicated customers disregarding noise levels upon departure. The resident specifically voiced concerns that if the new premises were also used as a late-night venue, these problems would be exacerbated.

The committee was to consider the application and the appropriateness of any conditions on the licence, with the legal framework for such decisions outlined in the report. The report also detailed the specific conditions proposed by the applicant to promote the licensing objectives, including measures for CCTV, staff training, alcohol storage and service, incident logs, door supervisors, customer management, and restrictions on outdoor areas and noise.

The report pack included appendices detailing the representations and agreements from South Wales Police and Pollution Control, as well as the representation from the local resident.
