6. Representations
In her written representation the local resident referred to the existing opening hours which she alleges the applicants exceed, referring to the amount of visitors to the store, on foot. She also referred to finding beer bottles and empty wine bottles outside her home in the morning.
Reference was also made to the ATM which was available 24hrs per day and resulted in noise at all hours. She believed this would increase if the hours for the sale of alcohol were increased.
She also referred to an incident which had resulted in the police being called, 2 months ago, to deal with two groups of youths. This happened at 9.00pm on a Saturday.
She did not attend the hearing.
In response, the Applicant’s representative, Mr Mitchener, who was present, said that the representation referred to matters which were not part of this application. The incident to which the Police had responded had started further down the A12 at another off licensed premises and by the time the Police responded the groups of youths had reached his clients premises. Again this happened at 9.00pm on a Saturday evening for which the applicant already had permission to open.
