This was an application for a
new premises licence. The Applicant was proposing to locate a
restaurant and ancillary bar on the ground floor of the
property. There would be office space
occupying floors 1 to 4, a business lounge on floor 5 and an events
space with bar on floor 6. The application sought to allow on-sales

the premises from 07:00 to 01:30 Monday to Sunday along with other

table meal. The Applicant had
originally intended purely having a hatched area for those who did
not have a table meal. Environmental
Health had recommended having a maximum capacity for this area and

Mr Brown sought
clarification as to why ‘after 23:00’ had been chosen
as the time when patrons would no longer be permitted to take
drinks or glass containers with them when temporarily leaving the
premises. At the previous hearing there
had been a comparable proposed condition when it was not permitted
at any time. Mr Skeens responded that there had been a proposed
condition at the initial hearing that ‘there shall
