1. Details of Application
Variation applied for:
The application sought to vary the premises licence to allow Late Night Refreshment to be served from 23:00 – 05:00, thus making the provision of hot food and drink 24 hours a day. It had been further stipulated by the applicant that only hot drinks would be provided for the licensable hours. And, following consultation with the police a further condition had been volunteered that all such sales would be made via the serving hatch from 23:00 – 05:30 hours.
The premises were currently open 24 hours a day to provide fuel.
The applicant had acted in accordance with regulations 25 and 26 of The Licensing Act 2003 (Premises licences and club premises certificates) Regulations 2005 relating to the advertising of the application. The required public notice was installed in the Yellow Advertiser on the 20 January 2016.
It was pointed out that there had been three applications made by the licence holder to vary the licence in the past 18 months. The first was withdrawn by the applicant; the others were rejected on administrative failures.

There were three (3) representations against this application from interested persons. The previous applications were essentially the same and representations were received from other interested parties in response to those applications. However, they had not submitted representations to this application.
There were two (2) representations against this application from responsible authorities.

Mr Parker had submitted a representation covering the crime and disorder, prevention of public nuisance and public safety licensing objectives.
Councillor Thompson had based his representation on the prevention of public nuisance and crime and disorder objectives.
The two representations submitted by the responsible authorities had both been withdrawn prior to the hearing commencing.
