Decision details

To refuse the Application to vary the alcohol a premises licence to cover the outside area.

To refuse the Application to vary the alcohol a premises licence to cover the outside area

1. Granting the license would give the Applicants the liberty to play live music and amplified music in accordance with the Live Music Act 2012 and this would not promote the licensing objective of preventing public nuisance in relation to Noise pollution to the surrounding properties.
2. The sale of alcohol outside is likely to increase the amount of people outside and noise to the detriment of the residential neighbours.
