LSC.09/17
The Sub-Committee
considered a report that sought to determine an application for a
new premises licence at Springfield Farm Shop, East Charleton,
Kingsbridge.
The Licensing
Specialist introduced the report and outlined the details of the
application (as stated in the application form at Appendix A of the
presented agenda report).
In addition, the
Licensing Specialist specifically outlined the amendments that were
illustrated at Appendix B of the presented agenda report that had
been agreed between the applicant and the Police.
The attention of the
Committee was also drawn to the three letters of objection that had
been received during the consultation process (as outlined at
Appendix C of the presented agenda report). Following the agreed amendments between the
applicant and the Police, it was noted that one letter of objection
had since been withdrawn.
In discussion, the
Sub-Committee was of the view that the majority of points raised in
the letters of objection (e.g. competition) were not relevant to
the four licensing objectives.
(At 2.45pm, the Sub-Committee
then adjourned in the presence of Mrs Reece to consider the
application and reconvened at 2.55pm).
