                                           Summary of Application

 

The Committee has determined an application for a Variation of a Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”).  The Premises are currently licensed as a Hotel, Restaurant and Member’s Club.  The Premises are within the West End Ward but not within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone nor the Special Consideration Zone.  The Premises have had the benefit of a licence (21/04705/LIPDPS) since August 2019.  There is a resident count of 93.

 

 

 

The Applicant wishes to vary the licence as follows:

 

1.     To update the operation of the hotel to allow for:

 

·       Films and Mini Bars in Hotel Bedrooms.

·       Off sales to customers seated in external area(s) appropriately authorised for the use of tables and chairs on the highway, limited to 23:00 hours.

 

2.     To amend conditions 10, 15 and 31 as specified below.

Representations Received:

 

·        Local Resident 

 

Summary of issues raised by objectors:

 

One local resident made representations on the grounds of the prevention of Public Nuisance. The resident had also raised concerns about the Premises tables and chairs causing obstruction on the public highway and the risk of transmission of Covid-19 to pedestrians. There were also concerns that the Applicant had failed to provide a layout of the external seating area.  

 

Policy Position:

 

Under Policy HRS1, applications within the core hours will generally be granted subject to not being contrary to other policies in the Statement of Licensing Policy (SLP).

 

Under Policy HOT1 applications outside the West End Cumulative Impact Zone will generally be granted subject to the application meeting the requirements of the policies in the SLP.
