To consider an application for a premise licence in respect of Maliha & Taj Indian & Bengali Restaurant, 3 Staplegrove Road, Taunton

Decision Maker:

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: November 28, 2025

Purpose:

Content: The Sub-Committee determines that revocation of the Premises Licence at this time will not promote the Licensing Objectives. However extra conditions to be added to the licence will help to achieve those objectives.   The Sub-Committee does not feel that removing the DPS will achieve anything more and in fact think it would be more beneficial for the owner of the business, to remain as the DPS as he will be liable for ensuring compliance with the new conditions.   Additional conditions to be endorsed on the premises licence:   1.    A CCTV system to be installed at the premises, to cover not only the public areas but also staff and ancillary areas. The CCTV system to be operative 24- hours a day not just when the premises are open to the public.   2.    All staff records, including employment records, training records and right to work records are to be kept on the premises in a central location where they are available to licensing officers and other Responsible Authorities upon request.
