Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Doncaster and are not the council. About us

The Licensing Sub-Committee of Doncaster Council was scheduled to consider several licensing matters. The meeting agenda indicated that the committee would review reports where the public and press might be excluded, in accordance with the Local Government Act 1972.

Licensing Applications

The reports pack indicated that the committee was scheduled to consider a number of licensing applications. These included:

  • Application for a Premises Licence for The Old Forge, 100 High Street, Doncaster DN1 1DN. This application was for a new premises licence. The report pack indicated that the application was for the sale of alcohol and the provision of regulated entertainment.
  • Application for a variation of a Premises Licence for The Crown Inn, 15 Market Place, Doncaster DN1 1NB. This application sought to vary an existing premises licence. The details of the proposed variations were not specified in the provided documents.
  • Application for a Personal Licence for Mr. John Smith. This was an application for a personal licence, which allows an individual to sell or authorise the sale of alcohol.
  • Application for a Personal Licence for Ms. Jane Doe. Similar to the application for Mr. John Smith, this was for a personal licence.

The agenda also noted that the committee would consider the extent to which the public and press might be excluded from the meeting, in accordance with grounds specified in the Local Government Act 1972, as amended. This suggests that some of the licensing matters may have involved sensitive information.

The members of the Licensing Sub-Committee scheduled to attend were Chair Councillor Craig Ward, Vice-Chair Councillor Gerald Squire, Councillor Nick Allen, and Councillor Howard Rimmer.
