Renewal of a Sexual Entertainment Venue (SEV) Premises
Licence
|
|
The application
was to renew the Sexual Entertainment Venue (SEV) premises licence
made by Mondrealm Ltd. It was noted
that the licence had since been transferred to John McKeown Clubs
Ltd.
The application was
initially due to be heard on 26 February 2019 and following a
detailed discussion it was agreed that this was adjourned until a
later date. This was partly to allow the applicant to be able to
properly respond to some of the allegations that had been made by
Mr Warr and which had only been served
on the applicant by the licensing authority a few days before the
hearing.

Amendments
to application advised at hearing:
Late submissions were
received from the applicant’s solicitors on 5th
and 8th April in the form of a report on back linking, a
witness statement dated 5th April 2019 in the name of
John McKeown and a response from the licensing inspectorate (dated
6th April 2019) to a Freedom of Information
request.
Late submissions were
also received from one of the objectors.
Before the Hearing commenced, the representatives for the
Applicant and Mr Warr discussed the
order of submissions with the Sub-Committee, and agreed that as
both parties were fully aware of the objections that had been made,
the Applicant would make his case to the Sub-Committee first
followed by Mr Warr.
|
|
Decision (including reasons if different from those set out in
report):
The
Sub-Committee heard the Applicant’s Case
Mr
Bromley-Martin addressed the Sub-Committee on behalf of the
Applicant and asked that two further documents be taken into
account. These comprised of a short one-page second statement from
the Applicant; and a schedule. Mr Bromley-Martin explained that it
had not been possible to submit the statement prior to the hearing,
as it referred to information contained in the response to the
Freedom of Information request which had only recently been
received. The schedule referred to information that had already
been provided. Mr D’Souza
responded on behalf of Mr Warr, and
commented that dates and chronology concerning a former employee of
Platinum Lace were not admitted. Mr Bromley-Martin also requested
that the applications for the renewal of ...
