Agenda and minutes

There were no apologies for absence.

Members are reminded of their responsibility to declare any personal interest in respect of matters contained in this agenda. If the interest arises only as result of your membership of another public body or one to which you have been appointed by the Council then you only need to declare it if you intend to speak.

If the personal interest is a prejudicial interest, you must withdraw from the meeting. Normally you should leave the room before the business starts to be discussed. You do, however, have the same right to speak as a member of the public and may remain in the room to enable you to exercise that right and then leave immediately. In either case you must not seek to improperly influence a decision on the matter.

There were no declarations of interest.

To receive and consider a report from the Director of People and Places (enclosed).

The Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee considered a report from the Director of People and Places which sought the Sub-Committee’s decision on an application to vary a Premises Licence in respect of Parkville Hotel and Truffles Restaurant.

The applicant, his legal representative and the manager of the premises attended the meeting to support the application for the variation of the Licence and seven neighbouring residents also attended to expand on their grounds of objection.

The Sub-Committee 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 in the report.  The Sub-Committee also considered Human Rights implications, in particular Article 8 and Article 1 of the First Protocol of the Proportionality Principal.

The Sub-Committee were of the view that the licensing objective of preventing public nuisance and the other licensing objectives would not be undermined by the grant of the application.

The Sub-Committee RESOLVED - to grant the application subject to the amendments proposed by the applicant at the hearing and the conditions proposed by the applicant in the application and at the hearing as follows:
