Agenda and minutes

An apology was received from Councillor David Suthers.

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 Head of Licensing attached.

The meeting was adjourned because it was not in the public interest to continue the hearing.

The meeting was in contravention of its own constitution in that neither the Chair nor Vice Chair of Licensing were available to attend the meeting.

Relevant notices under Regulation 11 of the Licensing Act (Hearings) Regulations 2005, explaining the reason for the extension of time was appropriately served to all parties.

The hearing would be adjourned until 27 November 2018.
