The Licensing Officer then referred to representations received in relation to the application from interested parties/responsible authorities that were set out in paragraph 1.7 of the report, copies of which were attached to the report circulated with the agenda.  There were no objections listed by the Fire Officer, Trading Standards, Health and Safety, Environmental Health or Police.    

Attention was then drawn to the local policy considerations as set out in paragraph 1.10 of 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.  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
