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 Yellow Advertiser on 10 September 2014.

 

One of the representations mentioned that the front of the premises had been chained off, thereby restricting the viewing of the displayed notice. The Licensing Officer contacted the applicant on receipt of this information, he was unaware that the front of the premises had had poles and chains put up to restrict access.  He had not initiated the works and believes that the landlord may have done so.  Once notified of the concern, the applicant attended the premises and moved the notice.  This was also evidenced by the applicant sending a photograph of the moved notice to the Licensing Officer.

 

The applicant modified the timings of his application following mediation with the Police.  In addition to modifying his hours, he also accepted the following conditions to be added to the licence:-

 

1)    The premises shall be operated strictly as a Restaurant.

 

2)    Alcohol shall be sold ancillary to table meals with all service by waiting staff.

 

3)    Persons taking a table meal shall be permitted to purchase alcohol before, during and after the meal.

 

4)    Alcohol shall not be supplied to persons collecting take away meals.

 

5)    A proof of age scheme such as Challenge 25 shall be operated at the premises where the only acceptable forms of identification are recognised photographic identification card such as a driving licence or passport.

 

6)    All staff shall be trained for their role including the operation of Challenge 25 on induction and at six-monthly intervals. Training shall include identifying persons under 25 years of age, making a challenge, acceptable proof of age and checking it, making and recording a refusal, avoiding conflict and responsible alcohol retailing. Written records shall be kept of all such training.

 

7)    No noise shall emanate from the premises nor vibration be transmitted through the structure of the premises which gives rise to a nuisance.
