Summary of Application

 

This is an application for a new premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”).  The Applicant is seeking to permit the sale of alcohol on the premises to residents and those guests who visit the residents. The licence is sought for 24 hours a day and is not available to the walk-in public.

 

The garden area will only be open until 22:00 hours on any day. Off sales is intended to cover any external area used for the consumption of alcohol. No off sales available to be taken away from the premises.

The matter was assessed on its individual merits having regard to the evidence before the Licensing Sub-Committee and the promotion of the licensing objectives.

 

There is a resident count of 112

 

Representations Received

 

·       Ms Sally Fabbricatore (Environmental Health Services)

The resident states that this care home is in the middle of a residential area, and granting a license will result in noise, nuisance, disorder, crime and antisocial behaviour in our local streets. Even worse the licence application is requesting alcohol sale permit for 24 hours a day, including sales and consumption in the garden area which is surrounded by private residences.
