Minutes: The Chair 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 Manager, the premises application
and supporting documentation, together with the written representations of
Responsible Authorities, and from local residents and local members (as defined
as Other Persons in accordance with the Licensing Act 2003) who were objecting
to the application. Mr Lee
Morgan (Licensing Manager) presented the report and outlined the application
submitted by Asda Stores Ltd, Pontygwindy Road, Caerphilly, to vary a premises licence
in order to permit the following licensable activities:- Supply of Alcohol ·
Monday to Sunday inclusive 00.01 to 00.00 Late Night
Refreshment ·
Monday to Sunday inclusive 23.00 to 05.00 Members were advised that the premises was seeking to extend its
existing licensed hours, (which currently end at midnight) to 24 Hours in
respect of the supply of alcohol and 05.00 for late night refreshment. The Sub Committee were referred to the representations received in
relation to the application from Responsible Authorities. Gwent Police and Environmental Health had
made no objections to the application, and the applicant had mediated on and
agreed to the proposed conditions offered by Trading Standards and Child
Protection. During the consultation period, a representation was received from
local members and ten representations from local residents. Copies
of the representations were attached to the report that was circulated with the
agenda. Attention was drawn to the local policy considerations and national
guidance as set out in the report and to the way in which the Sub Committee
would deal with the application. It was
explained that the Sub Committee must have regard to all the representations
made and to the evidence heard, and take such steps as is considered necessary
for the promotion of the licensing objectives.
Members were directed to the recommendation set out in the Licensing
Manager’s report, which recommended that the variation be granted subject to
agreed conditions in respect of the prevention of underage sales training and
the Challenge 25 policy. The Sub
Committee were reminded that this was purely a recommendation and that they
should take into account all the information before them when making their
decision. All parties present
were afforded the opportunity to ask questions and representations were then
invited from Responsible Authorities. Mr Tim Keohane (Senior Trading Standards Officer) explained that the representation
from Trading Standards was restricted to the Protection of Children from Harm
Licensing Objective. He confirmed that
the applicant had agreed to suggested additional conditions in respect of the
prevention of underage sales training and the Challenge 25 policy. There were no questions received and representations were then invited
from Child Protection. Mrs Deborah Lewis (Child Protection Co-ordinator) explained that the representation from Child Protection was also related to the Protection of Children from Harm Licensing Objective. The applicant had also responded to them to agree suggested additional conditions regarding the prevention of underage sales training ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
