WE ARE FSTVL 2017 -APPLICATION FOR A PREMISES LICENCE Minutes: The Sub-Committee had reconvened at 9.30am on Monday, 20th February 2017 to consider the evidence they had heard and to make a decision.
Having reached a decision in private the Sub-Committee had moved back in to open session at 11:15am to announce their decision.
1. DECISION
In considering and making its decision, the Licensing Sub-Committee had regard to the Guidance issued under Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003, the Council’s Licensing Policy and the promotion of the licensing objectives.
The Sub-Committee had noted the complaint received after the hearing last week that the Applicant had not been allowed sufficient time to present their application.
The applicant was legally represented and had been afforded nearly 2 hours to make their submissions. Mr Taylor for the applicant had been informed that he would be allowed 20 minutes after the lunch break to conclude his submissions. Mr Taylor did not complain of the lack of time at any time during the hearing.
The time taken by the responsible authorities was considerably less when addressing the Sub-Committee. In addition the police had been restricted to 20 minutes in asking questions and in making closing submissions.
The Sub-Committee having considered all submissions from responsible authorities and interested persons and having regard to the licensing objectives and statutory guidance granted the application subject to Conditions.
When determining the application for the premises licence, the Sub-Committee had in mind the past record of this festival and the serious concerns regarding crime, drugs and public nuisance. The Sub-Committee further had in mind the consumption of drugs in 2016, robberies and serious violent assaults. The Sub-Committee also considered the failings of security in 2016, the unhelpful attitude of security personal, and that those under the age of 18 years had previously gained access to the festival, public urination and general public nuisance. The Sub-Committee gave due consideration to the submissions of the applicant and the changes to the Event Management Plan that were being made for 2017.
