Reasons for the
decision
 
The application for a premises licence has
been approved because the Licensing Sub-Committee was satisfied
that the licensing objectives would not be undermined.
 
The Sub-Committee acknowledged that the
Applicant had made representations that the application was for off
sales only and that the alcohol was not distilled on site. The
Sub-Committee noted that alcohol sales were through postal and
Internet sales. There was no public access to the premises. The
Applicant would use the stairwell on premises to ensure it did not
affect local residences.
 
The Sub-Committee recognised that the
Applicant had amended their application by withdrawing the click
and collect element of the application to prevent any potential
noise nuisance or disturbance to local residences. The
Sub-Committee took into account that alcohol sales were managed
through a third-party delivery firm that they used called Quiver.
The Sub-Committee noted that delivery drivers were instructed to
park in a designated area and not on the red route.
 
  The
Sub-Committee took into account that the Licensing Authority had
made representations on the grounds of Public Nuisance. The
Licensing Authority welcomed the news that the Applicant had
amended the application to remove the click and collect element.
The Sub-Committee took into consideration that the Licensing
Authority were now satisfied that the licensing objective would not
be undermined and that their concerns were alleviated by the
amendments to the application.
 
The Sub-Committee noted that the Other Person,
who was the freeholder of the premises, had withdrawn their
representation before the hearing following discussions with the
Applicant.
 
Having taken all of the above factors into
consideration the Licensing Sub-Committee was satisfied that this
application could be approved without the licensing objectives
being undermined.
