The Committee considered the Application after hearing the representations made and decided:

That the application be granted as applied for and subject to conditions agreed with Responsible Authorities, including an amendment to GB04 as set out in reasons.

Reasons:

1. The premises was already licenced for sale of alcohol and this application was before the Committee as there was significant changes to the layout which would require a grant application;

2. The amended layout including the covering of the courtyard and roof terrace which would reduce noise and therefore improve upon the current licensed premises;

3. A comprehensive set of conditions had been agreed to promote the licensing objectives;

4. There was one point of access and egress, thus providing a clear security point;

5. The DPS was very experienced and the premises would be locally managed and well run;

6. The type of customers who would frequent the premises would not cause problems in the area;

7. It was noted that there was no Police representation;

8. The premises was in the CIA but this had not been raised in any of the representations, but in any event, the premises offered something different to what was already available;

9. The Relevant Person’s concerns were noted but it was felt that the comprehensive conditions agreed would mitigate any impact on his premises.

10. GB04 to read ‘The premises licence holder shall ensure that all drinking glasses, except stemmed glassware, used within the premises are of toughened or safety glass to the appropriate safety standard, in that they shall not produce sharp shards when broken.’
