Minutes: The
Sub-Committee considered an application for a new premises licence - made by
Marianna Browning for Cherries Café and Ice Cream Parlour, 1 Pier Terrace West
Bay, Bridport - for on and off sales of alcohol. As a representation had been
received - an objection - and remained unresolved, it was now necessary for the
Sub-Committee to consider it and determine the application. The
officer’s report detailed the basis of the application, how any permission
would be applied and what the premises comprised of: being a small café with 45
covers inside and 20 outside. The times being requested for the on and off
sales of alcohol were between the hours of 0900hrs and 2100hrs every day. The
operating schedule focused on the training of staff and confirmed that alcohol
would only be served with food. A critical condition of any grant of permission
was that sales of alcohol on the premises would only be permitted to accompany
a table meal and not under any other circumstances. Members
understood that the Authority’s determination should be evidence-based,
justified as being appropriate for the promotion of the licensing
objectives and proportionate to what it is intended to achieve. Determination
of whether an action or step was appropriate for the promotion
of the licensing objectives required an assessment of what action or
step would be suitable to achieve that end. In coming to their decision, these
would be the principles on which the Sub-Committee’s decision would be based. Following
consultation, whilst there were no representations from the responsible
authorities, Dorset Police had requested - and the applicant agreed - to have
conditions attached to a licence, should it be granted. The conditions
requested would cover a CCTV system; adherence to and application of the
Challenge 25 scheme; the appropriate training of staff in applying and
delivering those measures; and a refusals and incident log. However,
one representation from an interested person had been received which focused
on the impact that those who were inebriated would have on the area and the
nuisance and disruption this could cause. It was clarified that for
representations to be relevant, they must relate to one of the four licensing
objectives: prevention of public nuisance; prevention of crime and disorder;
public safety or the prevention of harm to children. In having asserted that the representation
being made was on behalf of the residents of Pier Terrace - and concerns for
their future wellbeing - the grounds on which the objection was being made were
that granting a licence would result in amenity being adversely affected by way
of:- ·
the
resulting nuisance and disturbance which would be caused from increased noise
levels; ·
uncontrolled
and unfettered access to the shared garden amenity; ·
uncontrolled
and unfettered activities associated with the excessive consumption of alcohol
and how, in turn, this would compromise the amenity, safety and security of
this otherwise respectable residential area and its residents; ·
the
proximity of other, alternative licences premises; and · an assurance that, in purchasing his property, there ... view the full minutes text for item 5. |
