Statutory Licensing Sub-Committee - Tuesday, 25th June, 2024 2.30 pm
June 25, 2024 View on council websiteSummary
The Statutory Licensing Sub-Committee of North Yorkshire Council convened on Tuesday 25 June 2024 to discuss several key issues, including the licensing application for 37 Commercial Street and the review of the council's licensing procedures. The committee approved the licensing application for 37 Commercial Street with specific conditions and reviewed the existing licensing procedures, agreeing on minor amendments to improve clarity and enforcement.
Licensing Application for 37 Commercial Street
The primary focus of the meeting was the licensing application for 37 Commercial Street. The applicant sought permission to extend the operating hours and include live music events. The officer's report, available here, detailed the application and the objections raised by local residents and businesses.
Concerns were raised about potential noise disturbances and increased foot traffic. One local resident stated, The extension of hours will undoubtedly lead to more noise late into the night, affecting our quality of life.
In response, the applicant proposed several noise mitigation measures, including soundproofing and limiting the number of live music events.
After deliberation, the committee approved the application with conditions. These included a requirement for soundproofing, a cap on the number of live music events per month, and a review of the license after six months to assess compliance and impact on the community.
Review of Licensing Procedures
The committee also reviewed the Statutory Licensing Sub-Committee Procedure. The review aimed to streamline the process and ensure it aligns with the council's commitment to transparency and efficiency. Minor amendments were agreed upon, focusing on improving clarity in the application process and enhancing enforcement mechanisms.
Councillor Paul Convery noted, These changes will help us maintain a balance between supporting local businesses and protecting the interests of our residents.
