2.         Grounds of objection

 

PC Fern of the Metropolitan Police, and Marc Gasson of the Havering Council Environmental Health Noise Team each made a representation against the Temporary Event Notices on 15 August 2012.

 

3.         Details of representations

 

Public Health:

 

Mr Gasson, the Havering Noise Specialist officer, reiterated his written objection against the applications.

 

He commented that there had been insufficient detail contained within the 4 TEN applications to fully consider all noise-related issues. Mr Gasson understood that a premises licence application would have been sought for the event as had been discussed at the Havering Safety Advisory Group on 6 June. Mr Gasson understood that a draft event manual was going to be submitted which would have addressed each of the 4 licensing objectives and which would have provided him with proposals for mitigating noise from the event. No such manual had been received and there had been no contact from the applicant to discuss noise-related issues and what measures should be put in place to mitigate noise nuisance. In Mr Gasson’s view, the exceptionally loud noise levels generated by the event, up to 120Dcb, would create a disturbance to residents living some distance away, particularly during unsociable hours in the evening when there would be minimal background noise to offset the noise from the event.

 

Mr Gasson added that with only a week before the event was due to commence, there was insufficient time for a full and proper assessment to be carried out.

 

Metropolitan Police:

 

A representation was submitted against the applications on the grounds of public nuisance, the prevention of crime and disorder, the protection of children from harm and public safety.

 

PC Fern addressed the sub committee orally reiterating his written representations against granting of 4 temporary event notices for Stubbers Activity Centre and raising a number of questions in respect of the  ...  view the full decision text for item 1.
