LSC2
The Sub Committee considered a report that
sought to determine an application for the granting of a new
Premises Licence at the Stannary Arms,
2 King Street, Tavistock PL19 0DS in accordance with Section 18 of
the Licensing Act 2003.
The Licensing Officer proceeded to present the
application and the content of the report.
The applicant put forward his reasons for
submitting the application and sought to allay the concerns that
had been raised by the objectors. In
particular, the applicant highlighted that:
-
the concerns raised over need were not relevant to
the Licensing Act 2003;
-
he had held constructive discussions with the Police
and additional conditions had now been incorporated into the
application in order to comply with the ‘Prevention of Crime
and Disorder’ objective;
-
he did not accept the comments about the highway
being a ‘main road’. It was
his view that the highway outside the application site should be
considered to be a ‘side street’; and
-
as the Designated Premises Supervisor, he would be
ensuring compliance with the conditions of any approved
licence. In addition, it would not be
his wish to play any excessively loud music within the
premises.
Upon the conclusion of his
address, the Sub-Committee proceeded to ask a number of
questions. During which, reference was
made to:
-
confirmation that the applicants would be living
on-site;
-
the management of noise levels outside of the
premises; and
-
the size (and potential capacity) of the
premises;
The objectors put forward their
respective presentations and stated that:
-
some functions may require Door
Supervisors. In reply, the applicant
confirmed that this would be determined on an event-by-event
basis;
-
the bedrooms of neighbouring residential properties
were in very close proximity to the main function room;
-
a Sub-Committee Site Inspection would have been
particularly useful in this instance to enable Members to evaluate
the application.
Once all parties were content
that they had no further issues and/or questions to raise, the
Sub-Committee adjourned at 11:14 am, in the presence of the Deputy
Monitoring Officer, to consider the application.
Further to two subsequent
reinstatements of the meeting when further questions were put to
the applicant, the Chairman closed the meeting at 12:49
pm. The decision to be advised to the
applicant and objectors who attended the meeting by telephone call
later that day, with other objectors informed within five working
days.
The
Decision
The
Sub-Committee decided to GRANT the Application but restricted
the time for the provision of recorded music to 2300 hours other
than on a Bank Holiday, when an additional hour would be
acceptable, and until 0100 hours on Christmas Eve and New
Year’s Eve.
The
Sub-Committee also varied some of the proposed conditions and these
are detailed below:
