Minutes:

The Licensing Sub Committee considered the application for the granting of a premises licence made by Mr J Forrest, the Chairman in respect of the Croston Community Centre, Castle Walks, Croston, PR26 9RH in light of representations made towards the application under Section 18 of the Licensing Act 2003.

 

The Council had received the application on 21 January 2014.

 

None of the ‘Responsible Authorities’ made representations. There were two representations from ‘other persons’.

 

The Licensing Sub Committee has carefully considered the applicants written and verbal representations for the application for the granting of a premises licence and have also taken into account all the representations both written and verbal that had been made by local residents who were objecting to the proposals.

 

Members considered the concerns expressed about public safety and noise nuisance issues regarding the current premises.

 

Members also considered that the conditions proposed by the applicant subject to the amendments below are sufficient to meeting the licensing objectives.

 

The Sub Committee have considered the guidance issued under Section 182 of the Licensing Act, together with the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy, in particular those paragraphs referred to within the report. The Sub Committee also considered Human Rights implications, in particular Article 6, Article 8 and Article 1 of the First Protocol of the European Convention on Human Rights and the changes to the Act that have been amended by the Police Reform and Social Responsibly Act 2011.

 

The Sub Committee RESOLVED to grant the application as set out in the report subject to the following additional and amended conditions for the licence:
