Report of the Interim Monitoring Officer attached.

The panel considered an application for a new licence in respect of Georgica Limited, trading as Tenpin Preston (Unit 7B, Capitol Retail Park, London Way, Walton-le-Dale, PR5 4AW).

The Head of Licensing advised members that objections had been received from one Responsible Authority, namely the Council’s Environmental Health section under the prevention of public nuisance objective.

Members were advised that the applicant had accepted these concerns and had employed a sound consultant to run some acoustic testing, with the report being submitted to the Licensing section within 48 hours of receipt.

Although the applicant was not present at the hearing, the Head of Licensing provided that they had requested the application be deferred in order to allow time to consider the sound consultant’s report and to try resolve the objection raised.

RESOLVED: (Unanimously)

That the application be deferred by virtue of Regulation 11 of the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005, until January 2020.
