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 in relation to the
application. Mr Lee Morgan (Licensing Manager) presented the
report and outlined the application submitted by Enterbizz
Limited on behalf of Blisters Bargoed, 63/65 Hanbury Road, Bargoed, CF81 8QX, to
vary the current premises licence as follows :- ·
To extend hours for
regulated entertainment from 03.30 to 04.15 (first floor only) on Friday and
Saturday, Sundays preceding Bank Holiday, Christmas Eve and Boxing Day; ·
To extend hours of

Admission times kept the

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 the refusal of the variation to extend the provision for live and recorded music, performance of dance and anything of a similar nature, together with the refusal of the request to remove the condition relating to the ceasing of entertainment and refreshment 30 minutes before premises close.
