Summary of Objections

·       It our belief that if granted the application would undermine the Licensing Objectives in relation to The Prevention of Crime and Disorder.  I have read the operating schedule that you have supplied and although I am happy with the conditions offered, I would also like to see the following to be included “Except for any authorised external seating areas, all sales of alcohol for consumption off the premises shall be in sealed containers only, and shall not be consumed on the premises”

·       Representation is made in relation to the application, as the proposals are likely to increase the risk of Public Nuisance and may impact upon Public Safety.

·       As a local resident, I am concerned about the mix of outdoor dining provided by the restaurant and serving alcohol at the times outlined in the application, with particular regard to noise. With residents living above and adjacent/above the restaurant, the combination is a potential for nuisance. I would welcome more information from the applicant on point P, d (the prevention of public nuisance), which currently only reads 'as per attached operating schedule.' No additional information, or the mentioned operating schedule is appended to the document. As it stands, I oppose the application, but could be swayed pending additional information

·       I am very concerned that granting this application will lead to a serious increase in noise on Lauderdale Parade in the evenings. It means that people will be sitting out on the pavement eating and drinking until 23:30 weekdays and  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2.
