Issues raised by Objectors

 

The proposed increase in hours for the Supply of Alcohol ‘On’ and ‘Off’ the premises may lead to an increase in Public Nuisance in the area.

 

The proposed increase in hours for Provision of Late-Night Refreshment may lead to an increase in Public Nuisance in the area.

 

Due to the location of the premises within the CIZ, the Police have concerns that the extra hour of alcohol consumption may add to existing crime and ASB within the immediate area.

 

The police request that the sale of alcohol is reduced to 23:30. With a closing time of 00:00, this would allow for a ‘drinking up period’ and help to reduce the levels of intoxication as well as assist with the dispersal of customers.

 

Noise - increasingly a problem for residents. More disturbed sleep. Car doors slamming as patrons leave premises. Screaming/shouting. Pedicabs with boom boxes. Drug dealers hanging around in cars with loud music playing outside venues late at night. Street urination and vomiting. Anti-social drunken behaviour eg: graffiti and vandalism

 

As this pub has deliveries on Sunday from the brewery generally after closing. I  ...  view the full minutes text for item 1.

Issues raised by Objectors

 

·       The granting of the application as presented would have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and may impact on Public Safety within the area.

 

·       Noise from the premises and it’s servicing will cause noise nuisance to residents nearby and in the area.

 

·       Monday to Thursday sales of alcohol and late night refreshment should end at 11.00pm, and at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. 10.30pm is appropriate for Sunday end of sales and refreshment.

·       Opening hours should end at midnight Monday to Thursday, 12.30am on Friday and Saturday, and 11pm on Sundays.

 

·       The servicing and deliveries activity should not be allowed after 9pm, or 9.30pm

 

·       No movement of goods or other items or substances outside the premises between 9pm and 7.30am.

 

·       No deliveries and no servicing at the premises between 9pm and 7.30am

 

·       Save for WCC services, there will be NO waste/recycling collections at the premises between 8am and 5pm.

 

·       Condition 20 seeks no deliveries before 6am. We feel that this is too early and that it should be changed to 7am at the earliest. In addition there should be a similar condition for waste collections.

 

·       Current Planning restrictions should apply.

It is also noted that 'alcohol may be served to those not participating in bowling'. There can be no certainty that the premises may not be used predominantly as a site to sell alcohol.

 

Any off sales of alcohol shall be limited only to such sales for consumption in any external seating area. This raises two issues:  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3.
