On consideration of all the representations made by both the Applicant’s agent, and those opposed to the Application, that the agreed and reduced amended hours, together with the additional conditions to be added to the licence should be sufficient to ensure that the Premises operates within the law.

It is noted that should there be any tangible evidence provided in due course of any breaches of conditions, or the breaking of the law, then naturally the licence may at any time be reviewed, leading to any subsequent sanction which may be deemed appropriate as a result.

Use of the highway and other private property is not a matter which can be considered by the licensing authority.

The Application setting a precedent was beyond the scope of the Committee to consider as it is not a licensing objective.

The Application is lawful, and complies with the statutory requirements.

The police made no formal representation, but through meeting with the Applicant, the Applicant agreed to reduced hours for alcohol and music, together with other new conditions as shown below.

No CCTV of alleged incidents was provided.

Alleged ASB was anecdotal in the main, albeit an interested party stated that he had personally witnessed public urination on the Museum forecourt, however that could not be evidentially attributable to the Applicant’s premises.

It was noted that no residents in the immediate vicinity had made any representations and that it was businesses and the Museum who had made representations and that the majority of their commercial activities ceased by 1800 each day, save for evening activities which may arise in the Museum.
