Representations Received:

 

·       Environmental Health Service (Ian Watson)

·       8 Local Residents

 

 

Summary of issues raised by objectors:

 

The proposals are likely to increase the risk of Public Nuisance and may impact upon Public Safety within the area.  Residents stated Mount Street is a predominantly residential street with some restaurants and there is long standing precedent as to limitations on the use of properties in Mount Street for entertainment.  Residents also stated that granting the application would be in breach of such precedent.  The premises have not been used as a restaurant before, this would increase the risks of public nuisance, crime, and public safety in general.  The proposed hours are outside of core hours and introducing late hours into a residential area would affect children and elderly residents sleeping early.

 

Policy Position:

 

Under Policy RNT1, applications outside the West End Cumulative Impact Zone will generally be granted subject to matters identified in Policy RTN1.

 

Under Policy HRS1, applications for hours outside the core hours will be considered on their merits, subject to other relevant policies and with particular regard to the matters identified in Policy HRS1.

Summary of issues raised by objectors:

 

The proposals are likely to increase the risk of Public Nuisance and may impact upon Public Safety within the area.  Residents stated Mount Street is a predominantly residential street with some restaurants and there is long standing precedent as to limitations on the use of properties in Mount Street for entertainment. The premises have not been used as a restaurant before and granting the application would strongly increase the risks of public nuisance, crime, and public safety. The proposed hours are outside of core hours and introducing late hours into a residential area would affect children and elderly residents who have to sleep early.

 

Policy Position:

 

Under Policy RNT1(A), applications outside the West End Cumulative Impact Zone will generally be granted subject to the matters identified in Policy RNT1.

 

Under Policy HRS1, applications outside the core hours set out in Clause C will be considered on their merits, subject to other relevant policies in the Statement of Licensing Policy.
