APPLICATION FOR A NEW PREMISES LICENCE AT 25 BRYN ROAD CEFN FFOERST BLACKWOOD NP12 3LZ PDF 363 KB Additional documents:
Minutes: The Chairman opened the meeting and
introductions were made. The Legal Advisor to the Sub
Committee outlined the procedure for the meeting and reported that Members had
previously familiarised themselves with the report of the Licensing Officer,
the application and plan of the premises together with the written submissions
from the Responsible Authorities, Local Ward Member and Local Residents who
were objecting to the application. The
Licensing Manager presented the report which outlined the application submitted
for a new premise licence at the former Stone House Inn pub, 25 Bryn Road, Cefn
Fforest, Blackwood, NP12 3LZ with the proposed operating hours for the supply
of alcohol (off sales only). ·
Sale of Alcohol (off sales only) Monday to Sunday
inclusive – 8.00 – 23.00 The
Licensing Officer then referred to representations received in relation to the
application from Responsible Authorities/Other Persons i.e. Local Ward Member
and Local Residents that were set out within the report. Copies of which were circulated with the
agenda. Attention
was then drawn to the local policy considerations as set out within the report
and to the way in which the Sub Committee should deal with the
application. It was explained that the
Sub Committee must have regard to the report, the representations made and to
the evidence heard. It must take such
steps as is considered necessary for the promotion of the licensing objectives
and could:- ·
Grant
the application as requested to include, where appropriate, mandatory
conditions ·
Modify the conditions specified in the operating
schedule by altering, omitting or adding to them. ·
Reject the whole or part of the application. The Applicants representative
addressed the Sub Committee and outlined the application which he indicated complied with all aspects of the
Statement of Licensing Policy within Caerphilly, thereby minimizing the
potential for the Licensing Objectives to be undermined. The Sub Committee were
informed that the Applicant had held a personal licence for many years and had
several similar establishments providing the sale of alcohol which have all
been run responsibly and without causing any issues inline with the Licensing
Objectives. Response was made to the concerns raised by the Local Ward Member and Local Residents in their representations. However, the Sub Committee were reminded that parking and traffic issues are not a matter to be taken into consideration and these matters should be dealt with by the Planning Department. In relation to the concerns raised regarding Crime and Disorder, the Sub Committee were advised by the Applicants representative that stats had been obtained from the Home Office site for the past six months and comparatively low level crime rate compared with other areas in Gwent. However, the residents and Local Ward Member were assured that the Applicant is proactive and understands his responsibility as a business owner and has accepted additional conditions that the Police and the Licensing Authority have suggested to be added to the licence should it be granted, to help alleviate any potential for Crime and Disorder or Public Safety originating from the premises. ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
