Reasons for the
decision
 
The application for a premises licence has
been approved as the Licensing Sub-Committee was satisfied that the
licensing objectives would not be undermined.
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration that
there were 21 representations from Other Persons of which 19 Local
residents were in support of the application and two local
residents made representations against the application. The
Sub-Committee took into consideration that there were no
representations by Responsible Authorities.
 
The Sub-Committee took into account that the
two representations were made by local residents that reside
opposite the building concerned about noisy drunk customers late at
night. The local residents made representations that the noise
coming from the premises each time the door opens is deafening.
Also when the customers are dispersing from the premises down
Sandringham Road they can be heard shouting loudly, causing a
disturbance.
 
The Sub-Committee took into account the local
residents' representations that given the antisocial behaviour
displayed by the customers local
residents wanted the hours to be reduced, and to ensure the
conditions are imposed that the footway is kept clear and safe for
passing pedestrians and that amplified noise is kept to the
minimum.
The Sub-Committee noted that the Applicant
made presentations that they were seeking amended hours to stop
alcohol 15 minutes before close. In addition, they were seeking an
extra 45 minutes of alcohol sales on Friday and Saturday.
 
The Sub-Committee took into account the
Applicant’s representations that they have a sound limiter on
the floor to prevent noise nuisance. They take the safety of
customers seriously and they were prepared to work with local
residents to overcome any objections. The Sub-Committee took into
consideration that the Applicant had discussed the additional hours
with the Police. The Applicant made representations that they have
reduced hours on Thursday evenings and that the license they were
proposing would overcome any concerns. The Applicant made
representations that off sales were not part of their regular
business model, and they do not let people leave with open
drinks.
 
The Sub-Committee noted the Applicant
has made this application to avoid
having to use temporary event notices
on a regular basis.
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration
concerns about obstructing the pavement. The Sub-Committee took
into consideration concerns raised about customers being loud and
noisy in the early hours of the morning screaming and shouting and
causing noise nuisance.
 
 The
Sub-Committee took into account the representations in support of
the premises. The Sub-Committee noted the local residents in
support had a good experience of the premises, and they had had no
issues with the operation of the premises. It is known by the
LGBTQIA+ community. The Sub-Committee noted the representations
that the Applicant promotes safety of customers.
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration that
the Applicant agreed to a reduction in the hours at the relevant
times, including drinking up time.
 
The Sub-Committee felt that the premises will
not contribute to the cumulative impact in the area. The
Sub-Committee were persuaded by the Applicants' representations on
smoking outside of the premises.
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration that
the Applicant was an experienced operator for over 15 years, and
was prepared to work with local residents to overcome their
objections. The Applicant had agreed to a number of conditions and
reduced hours to prevent the licensing objectives from being
undermined. The Sub-Committee took into consideration that the
hours during weekdays are less than the existing premises
licence.
 
Having taken all of the above factors into
consideration the Sub-Committee was satisfied that granting this
application for a premises licence would not undermine the
licensing objectives.
