The panel considered an application for the variation of a Premises Licence submitted under the Licensing Act 2003.

With the permission of the panel and in accordance with the council?s hearing procedure the Licensing Officer introduced the application.

The applicant (accompanied by his legal representative) then addressed the panel and questions were asked.

The legal representative informed the meeting that the applicant was happy to add a condition to the proposed variation in that the supply of alcohol and any regulated entertainment would only be ancillary use to the existing shopping experience at the premises.

The objector to the application then addressed the panel and questions were asked.

(During the course of the meeting the Principal Solicitor explained the difference between planning and licensing legislation and the objector was informed that residents would be made aware of any proposals to change the existing planning conditions.)

Having fully considered the representations (written and oral) made by the objector and the application made by the applicant, the panel retired to reach its decision.

The panel took into account the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003, the guidance issued in respect of it and the council?s own policy document.
RESOLVED: that the application to vary the premises licence as applied for (as set out in the report) be granted subject to the additional condition (as agreed by the applicant) that the supply of alcohol and any regulated entertainment would only be ancillary use to the existing shopping experience at the premises.
Agreed  Principal Solicitor, Licensing Officer (AC)
