No representations had been received from any of the responsible authorities, but one representative had been received from an interested party in relation to noise from the premise. Reference was made to Section 9 of the Revised Guidance issued under Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 which stated:
9.9 It is recommended that, in borderline cases, the benefit of the doubt about any aspect of a representation should be given to the person making that representation. The subsequent hearing would then provide an opportunity for the person or body making the representation to amplify and clarify it.
No questions were asked of the Licensing Officer however, the applicant’s representative confirmed with the Licensing Officer that the Iron Horse had held a premises licence previously, between 2012 – 2019 and during that time it had not been subject to any reviews, unfortunately the premises licence had lapsed and currently licensable activities were being undertaken through Temporary Events Notices (TENs) 23 events had been undertaken to date under these licenses. Before making their representation, the applicant’s representative proposed some amendments to the conditions on the premises licence. That no external amplified music would be played after 10pm and the external area would be cleared of patrons by 10pm. Also, some of the conditions which had been transferred from the previous licence had been duplicated and he proposed that these were amended accordingly within the operating schedule and that the conditions would be made enforceable.
The applicant’s representative then made their representation. Reference was made to the fact that none of the responsible authorities, the Police, Environmental Health had made any representation in respect of the application before the committee. He reminded Members of the guidance issued under Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 ... view the full minutes text for item 4. |
