Summary of Application
The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a New Premises Licence in respect of the above premises under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”). The Premises intends to operate as a live music jazz venue and as a recording and production studio during the day, alongside occasional educational use. A copy of the Premises Plans can be viewed at Appendix 1 of the agenda report, and a list of the conditions proposed as part of the Application can be viewed at Appendix 4. This is a new premises application and therefore no premises licence history exists.
The Applicant has provided supporting documents, including a crime analysis report, a letter of support, an acoustic report, a planning acoustic report, a copy of the Premises’ planning permission, a dispersal policy and plans. These can be found at Appendix 2 of the agenda report. A summary of proposals, a Noise Impact Assessment & Mitigation Strategy and appendices from the crime analysis report are included in the Additional Information Pack.
The Premises are situated within the West End Ward and within the West End Cumulative Impact Area. During the hearing, the Applicant amended the application so that the licensable activity of ‘Performance of Dance’ no longer formed part of the Application. On that basis, the Premises falls within the definition of ‘cultural venue’ as given in policy CCS0S1. Policy CIP1 states that applications for cultural venues within the West End Cumulative Impact Area ‘will be subject to other policies within this statement and must demonstrate that they will not add to cumulative impact.’
During the hearing, the Applicant also confirmed that the application was being amended to reduce the hours sought for sale by retail of alcohol by half an hour each day. During the hearing, the Applicant also proposed additional conditions, as set out in the Submissions section below.
The matter has been assessed on its individual merits having regard to ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
