LICENSING SUB-COMMITTEE’S REASONS FOR REACHING ITS DECISION

 

The Sub-Committee considered the Licensing Act 2003 and regulations, the Guidance and the Council’s Licensing Policy, the application and all representations made.

 

The Sub-Committee considered all the written representations received from local residents.

 

The Sub-Committee considered whether the premises classification fell into the category of a petrol station or a convenience store.  They were satisfied that it is a convenience store based on sales and product strategy.

 

The Sub-Committee considered the staffing levels and the premises’ ability to manage an increase in demand.

 

The Sub-Committee noted that the measures outlined were comprehensive and dealt with the concerns and that they were a large reputable company with policies, procedures and training already in place.

 

The Sub-Committee carefully considered the resident’s concerns regarding the potential for Public Nuisance and potential harm to children from and balanced those concerns with the interests of the applicant and the licensing objectives.
