The Licensing Sub-Committee A of Carmarthenshire Council met on Tuesday 10 March 2026 to consider personal licence applications. The committee resolved to adjourn the case of Mr Aran Baker due to issues with serving notice, and unanimously revoked the personal licence of Mr Daniel Clive Gravell following his conviction for serious offences.
Mr Daniel Clive Gravell - Personal Licence
The Sub-Committee unanimously resolved to revoke the personal licence of Mr Daniel Clive Gravell. This decision was made after it was reported that Mr Gravell had been convicted of rape and voyeurism on 8th May 2025, involving two separate incidents and victims. He had received an eight-year custodial sentence for these offences, with further new offences due to go to trial later in 2026. Despite officers sending notice of the proceedings to Mr Gravell at the prison on three separate occasions, no response was received. The committee considered these to be relevant offences under the Licensing Act 20031 and, having regard to the statutory guidance, determined that revocation was necessary to promote the licensing objective of preventing crime and disorder. The Police Licensing Officer had also made representations supporting the revocation. The Sub-Committee concluded that revocation was a proportionate response to the seriousness of the convictions.
Mr Aran Baker - Personal Licence
Consideration of Mr Aran Baker's personal licence was unanimously resolved to be adjourned. This decision was made because the Police Licensing Officer informed the committee that Mr Baker was no longer at the address where the notice of proceedings had been served. As officers could not confirm that Mr Baker had received the notice as required by the Licensing Act 2003, the matter was adjourned to allow officers to serve the papers on Mr Baker in accordance with the legislation.

The Licensing Act 2003 is the primary legislation governing the sale and supply of alcohol, regulated entertainment, late-night refreshment, and the personal licensing of individuals involved in these activities in England and Wales. It aims to promote the four licensing objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm. ↩
