New Premises Licence Application for Rendezvous External Area, Weymouth PDF 284 KB An application has been made for a new premises licence. The application
has been out to public consultation and has attracted relevant representations.
A Licensing Sub-Committee must therefore consider the application and
representations at a public hearing. Additional documents:
Minutes: The
Licensing Team Leader introduced the report for a new premises licence for the
External Area outside of Rendezvous, 49 St Thomas Street, Weymouth and gave a
detailed history of the premises. Following
a variation to the licence in 2015, outside events became more established and
attracted a larger audience. Due to the
pandemic only two events were held last year, one in June for the Football and
one for the August Bank Holiday, a further event was scheduled for New Year but
cancelled due to the Omicron variant. The
Licensing Team Leader advised that it was very unusual to have two very
different operations covered by one licence, and Officers of Dorset Council had
suggested that it would probably be more appropriate to have two separate
licences so that appropriate conditions could be applied to the outside area
for the events. This was not a new licence but a separation of one licence into
two and there had been no objections from the Police or Town Council. A
statement responding to the concerns from the objectors was contained in the
supplementary information supplied on-line. The
sub-committee were invited to ask questions of the Licensing Team Leader. There
were no questions from the applicant or the objector. The
Solicitor for the Applicant was given the opportunity to put forward the case
on behalf of Stonegate Ltd. He wanted to
point out that there would only be the occasional outside event, 10 days in
total throughout the year, plus the days where the England Football Team played
in the Euros and World Cup football matches which fell on a Saturday or Sunday
during the times applied for. Except for
the addition of New Year’s Eve, the application was not an increase in the number
of events currently permitted in the external area. The Safety
Advisory Group would be engaged with any events held. He gave updates on some of the issued raised
regarding a secondary location for boats, fencing and the presence of dedicated
marshalls. The
sub-committee, followed by the Licensing Team Leader, the Environmental
Protection Team Leader and the objector were invited to ask questions of the
Solicitor. The
Environmental Protection Team Leader had nothing further to add and there were
no questions for her. The
Objector was invited to put his case forward.
His concerns were for the living and working amenity of the area and he
objected on a strategic level. The sub-committee, followed by those in
attendance were invited to ask questions of the Objector. All
parties were given the opportunity to sum up their cases, prior to the
sub-committee retiring to make their decision.
