Objection of Temporary Event Notice - Neon PDF 254 KB To consider two Objection Notices to a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) for Neon in Bridport Additional documents:
Minutes: The Licensing
Officer introduced the report to consider objections to a Temporary Event
Notice (TEN) submitted by Mr Long (the Applicant) for New Year’s Day. The application was attached at appendix 1 of
the report. Objections had been
received from Dorset Police and Dorset Council Environmental Protection. The Licensing
Officer detailed the options available to the Sub-Committee. There were no
questions from the Sub-Committee, the Applicant or the
Responsible Authorities. The Applicant was
then given the opportunity to present his case to the Sub-Committee. Following an application for a TEN in October
that was not granted the Applicant advised that he had taken on board the
comments from that meeting. He had implemented sound reduction
measures to address the noise nuisance and since then there had hardly been any complaints from Environmental
Protection regarding noise. New Year’s
Eve would be a busy and noisy night in the town and he
felt it would be fair for Neon to be on a level playing field with the other
venues. In January he hoped to apply for
a variation of his Licence as previously suggested by Dorset Police. Attendees were
given the opportunity to ask questions of the Applicant. In response to
those questions the Sub-Committee heard that the Applicant had applied for 4
TENs in the last 12 months. Entry to the venue was not allowed after 01:00, with the exception of re-entry, bar staff from other venues
and emergency services personnel, who they allowed in after they had finished
work. No-one else was allowed entry
after 01:00. This would also apply on
New Year’s Eve. The capacity of the
venue was 120 which was monitored by door staff with clickers. The resident DJ was booked until 04:00 on 1
January, and there would be additional door staff on duty and the side
door/alley would be patrolled and monitored.
The Applicant hoped that the activities would be finished by 05:30 and
partly his reasoning for the extended timings was to ensure flexibility for
customers to leave gradually so there would not be an influx of people all
leaving the various venues at the same time. There were no more
questions and all parties were given the opportunity to sum up their case and
the Sub-Committee members retired to make their decision. |

the report. Objections had been
from Dorset Police and Dorset Council Environmental Protection. The Licensing
Officer detailed the options available to the sub-committee. There were no
questions from the Sub-Committee, the Applicant or the Responsible Authorities The Applicant was
invited to present his case. He advised
that there would be no DJ on New Year’s Eve, it was intended to play music
through their in-house music system which could be monitored and controlled. An extra doorman would be on duty and action
had been taken following some noise nuisance complaints to address those
issues, including putting up a curtain to cut some sound and reminding live
bands keep the noise levels down. In response to
questions, the Applicant advised that they did not let customers come into the
venue after 01:30 unless they were staff from other venues who had come off
shift. The capacity of the
venue was monitored by door staff and there was an additional counter for
double checking numbers inside the premises.
The Team Leader for
Environmental Protection confirmed that she was not aware of any breaches of
the Noise Abatement Notice which had been served on the Premises on 19 October
this year. She had visited the premises
approximately 3 weeks after the Noise Abatement Notice was served and discussed
noise monitoring with a member of staff. There were no
further questions and all parties were given the opportunity to sum up their
cases prior to the Sub-Committee retiring to make their decision. |
