Reasons:
The Sub-Committee has listened to the concerns of residents about the impact on the local area as a result of public nuisance. The Committee took into consideration that legislation provides for a presumption of grant of an application for a premises licence, subject to the determination of the application with a view to promoting the licensing objectives in the overall interests of the local community. No evidence was provided to suggest the objectives could not be upheld with implementation of conditions above. Concerns were raised about the extensive hours applied for and the Sub – Committee agreed that the extended late-night opening created a greater risk of public nuisance and crime and disorder.
The representation from environmental health was concerned with the impact on the local community from the late-night opening and the extended hours. They are the experts in this area. The sub-committee agreed that such hours would be likely to cause a nuisance.
The residents and objections were keen to highlight the lack of parking available in the area.
