Agenda and minutes

An apology was received from Councillor Jane Bell.

Members are requested to indicate at this stage in the proceedings any items on the agenda in which they intend to declare an interest. Members are reminded that if the interest is a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest (as defined in the Members’ Code of Conduct) they must leave the room for the whole of that item. If the interest is not a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest, but is such that a member of the public could reasonably regard it as being so significant that it is likely that it would prejudice their judgment of the public interest (as explained in the Code of Conduct) then they may make representations, but then must leave the meeting for the remainder of the item.

There were no declarations of any interests.

Report of the Legal Services Manager attached.

Members met to consider an application that was submitted on 31October 2018 by Mr Daniel Hindle for a new Premises License pursuant to Section 17 of the Licensing Act 2003 for a first floor premises, formally the Knights of St Columbus, 1a Fleetwood Street, PR253NL.

In response to a number of representations made objecting to the granting of the licence the applicant had submitted a number of additional conditions which required due consideration from all those that had made representations. Furthermore, the applicant had also been provided with Temporary Event Notice’s (TEN’s) to operate through the festive period.

In the circumstances, it was AGREED necessary in the public interest to extend the time limit and adjourn the matter to a further date, in order to understand the impact of the proposed changes made by the applicant.

A revised application would be considered at a reconvened date.
