The Licensing Act Sub Committee of Cornwall Council met on 4 July 2025 to consider a review of a premises licence. The meeting was scheduled to begin with the election of a chair, apologies for absence, and declarations of interest. It was then expected to move into a discussion of the application, before potentially excluding the press and public.

Review of Premises Licence: Café Soul, Camborne

The central item for consideration was the review of the premises licence for Café Soul at 51 Cross Street, Camborne, TR14 8ET. This review was prompted by a closure order.

The Agenda frontsheet notes that the committee was expected to consider a resolution to exclude the press and public from the meeting during the discussion of this item, because it involved:

Information relating to an individual.

Additional information relating to this agenda item was provided in three supplementary agendas (Supplementary agenda, Supplementary agenda 2, Supplementary agenda 3). The Public reports pack contained pages 5-38 pertaining to this review. Supplementary agenda 2 contained pages 3-9, and Supplementary agenda 3 contained pages 3-6.

Other Business

The agenda also included a standard item for any other business that Councillor Nicky Chopak, Councillor Julie Cunningham, or Councillor Debra Clegg, considered urgent. According to the Agenda frontsheet:

The Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1972 prohibits the consideration of any items which have not appeared on the agenda for the meeting unless the Chairman is prepared to certify that a proposed item is 'urgent'.
