3.         Comments and observations on the application

 

The applicant 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 30 August 2013 edition of the Yellow Advertiser.

 

The premises licence was held by an individual whom appeared to be a sole trader.  As such a sole trader’s home address was required to be provided on the licence in order that the Licensing Authority was able to monitor the holder’s solvency status in line with its obligation under s.27 of the Act.  The holder of this licence had provided the address of the premises as his address.  The Licensing Officer confirmed that the applicant had confirmed his home address and the solvency status had also been confirmed.
