The Sub-Committee carefully considered all the evidence
before it, including the Applicant’s representatives
submissions, the representations from the Responsible Authorities,
Wolverton and Greenleys Town Council and the local
resident.
It noted the application had stated that, in order to meet
the Licensing Objective ‘The Prevention of Public
Nuisance’, the applicant had offered an investment in
soundproofing measures which would include double glazing to the
front of the premises only and the Applicant’s representative
confirmed they would welcome any advice from the Responsible
Authorities with regard to noise monitoring.
There had been concern with regard to the authenticity of
the specialist deep cleaning certificate, as The Phoenix Group had
dissolved in 2020 and the expiry date had been misspelt.
The premises seated 24 patrons, but the Applicant’s
representative could not confirm how staff would monitor and
control the number of customers to prevent overcrowding during peak
hours.
In response to the representation from the Bucks Fire and
Rescue, the Applicant’s representative had submitted a fire
risk assessment which had been undertaken by MK Telecommunications
and Solutions Ltd.  However, during the
hearing, they admitted this had been an error and SK and Electrical
Gas Services had carried out the assessment. 
In response to the representation from Environmental
Health, it had been noted that the applicant had repaired the fan
located on the rear wall of the kitchen by mounting a plastic
bucket which had been screwed to the wall.

applied for and had offered collection / deliveries until 03.00
