The Licensing Sub-Committee convened to review a premises licence application for the Hotel Indigo, and after discussion, the licence was granted with specific conditions to ensure public safety and prevent nuisance. The committee also reviewed the minutes of several past meetings.

Hotel Indigo Premises Licence

The Sub-Committee considered an application for a premises licence for the Hotel Indigo.

The application requested permission to:

• Supply alcohol on and off the premises 24 hours a day
• Provide regulated entertainment including live music, recorded music and performance of dance
• Provide late night refreshment between 23:00 and 05:00

The Hotel Indigo Committee Report outlined the details of the application, including the proposed licensable activities, the operating schedule, and the steps taken to promote the licensing objectives¹.

During the meeting, the Sub-Committee discussed various aspects of the application, including:

• The location of the hotel and its proximity to residential areas.
• The potential impact of the licensable activities on local residents, particularly in terms of noise and disturbance.
• The measures proposed by the applicant to prevent crime and disorder, ensure public safety, and protect children from harm.

The Corporate Fraud Team were consulted and raised no objections to the application.

Following the discussion, the Sub-Committee resolved to grant the premises licence, subject to a number of additional conditions. These conditions included:

• The use of noise limiters to control the volume of music played at the premises.
• The implementation of a dispersal policy to minimise disturbance to local residents at the end of the night.
• The provision of CCTV coverage in key areas of the premises.
• The training of staff on responsible alcohol retailing practices.

The decision to grant the licence with conditions was based on the Sub-Committee's assessment that the proposed measures would adequately address the potential negative impacts of the licensable activities, and that the granting of the licence would be consistent with the licensing objectives.
