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 and the application, together with the information provided by all parties at the hearing.

 

The Sub-Committee carefully considered the concerns raised by a local resident and balanced those concerns with the interests of the applicant and the licensing objectives.

 

The Sub-Committee was satisfied that the statutory requirements regarding notices, advertisements and time limits had been complied with.

 

The Sub-Committee noted that the concerns raised by the local resident were on the grounds of public nuisance, public safety and crime and disorder as there are residential properties near the premise and concerns regarding noise, safety on the roads around the premise.

 

The Sub-Committee also carefully considered the information provided by the Applicant, and the Applicant’s assurances that the noise would not constitute a nuisance. The applicant advised that a noise management survey was already being undertaken and a noise management plan would be supplied to the licensing department within 28 days.
