Minutes:
The Sub-Committee considered a report which advised that a Personal Licence Holder had been convicted of a relevant offence after the grant of the licence and asked Members to determine whether to consider revoking or suspending the licence.
The Enforcement Team Leader for Licensing advised the Licence Holder was granted a Personal Licence pursuant to Section 120 of the Licensing Act 2003 on 9 December 2014. On 14 August 2019 he was convicted of a relevant offence, namely driving with alcohol level above the legal limit. Members noted that he notified the Authority of this conviction on 2 September 2019.
After careful consideration of the report and having regard to the guidance issued under S182 of the Licensing Act 2003 and the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy, the Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee RESOLVED to consider revoking or suspending the licence and instruct the licensing team to issue a notice to the licence holder inviting representations to be made within 28 days. Following this, the Sub-Committee will decide whether to suspend or revoke the licence.
Members came to this decision as this was a relevant offence, and felt the details contained in the Personal Licence Holder’s statement warranted further investigation and consideration.
