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 Officer and documentation relating
to the premises application, together with the written representations of
Responsible Authorities, and from local residents (as defined as Other Persons
in accordance with the Licensing Act 2003) who were objecting to the
application. Before presenting her
report, Mrs Kathryn Hopkins (Senior Licensing Officer) drew the Sub Committee’s
attention to Appendices 10 and 11 that had been referenced in the report but
omitted from the agenda pack. It was
noted that these detailed the applicant’s response and agreement to further
conditions suggested by Trading Standards and Environmental Health. With the agreement of all parties present,
these documents were tabled at the meeting and all present were given the
opportunity to read through them before the proceedings continued. Mrs Hopkins then presented the report of the
Senior Licensing Officer and outlined the application submitted by Cascade
Youth Football Club, Duffryn Park Playing Field,
Penpedairheol, for a club premises certificate which sought to permit the
following licensable activities:- Supply of Alcohol

Saturday
and Sunday 12.00 to 23.00 The Sub Committee
were referred to the representations received in relation to the application
and it was noted that the Police, Fire Authority, Health and Safety, Child
Protection and the Licensing Authority had indicated they did not wish to make
representations in respect of the application.
Members were also referred to the representations received from
Responsible Authorities (Trading Standards and Environmental Health Pollution)
and from Other Persons (local residents) as set out in the Senior Licensing
Officer’s report. The Sub Committee were
asked to note that some of the concerns from local residents related to
increased traffic and parking, but that these have no relevance to licensable
activities. 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. All parties present
were afforded the opportunity to ask questions.
A local resident (Mrs Thomas) explained that she had concerns about the
licence times applied for late at night and enquired as to their frequency. The Legal Advisor explained that this would
be a question for the applicant later on in the hearing. Mrs Morgan (local resident) referred to the application advertisement and suggested that the notice displayed in the perimeter of the playing fields would not have been easily sighted ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
