The TEN could not be modified. The sub-committee were invited to ask questions of the Licensing Team Leader who confirmed that there had been no complaints directly to the licensing team from the previous TEN that was granted. There were no questions from Environmental Health, the Licensee or Dorset Police for the Licensing Team Leader. The Licensee was given the opportunity to put his case forward. Questions from the sub-committee to the Licensee focused on the capacity of the location both inside and out, number of staff expected to be working, whether this was a ticketed event, noise spikes, ventilation, how alcohol consumption was controlled, how the sound of music would be controlled and entry/re-entry restrictions. The Licensing Team Leader, the Environmental Health Officer and Dorset Police were given the opportunity to ask questions of the Licensee. The Environmental Health Officer was invited to put her case forward. The sub-committee were advised that there were 4 open complaints of noise from the premises following the last TEN that was granted and there were concerns that there was the potential for statutory noise nuisance Sub-committee members, the Licensing Team Leader, the Licensee and the Dorset Police representative were given the opportunity to ask questions of the Environmental Health Officer.

Exempt Business To move the exclusion of the press and the public
for the following item in view of the likely disclosure of exempt information within
the meaning of paragraph x of schedule 12 A to the Local Government Act 1972
(as amended). The public and the press will be asked to leave the
meeting whilst the item of business is considered. Minutes: Decision That the press and the public be excluded
for the following item(s) in view of the likely disclosure of exempt
information within the meaning of paragraph 3 of schedule 12 A to the Local Government Act
1972 (as amended). Decision: To ISSUE A COUNTER NOTICE Reason
for Decision: The
Sub-Committee carefully considered the documents presented to it, and the oral
statements made by the parties attending the hearing. They had regard to
the Licensing Objectives, the Section 182 Statutory Guidance, and the Dorset
Council Statement of Licensing Policy 2021-2026. The Sub-Committee considered that given the information put forward by
Dorset Police and the Dorset Council Environmental Protection Team, it was
appropriate to issue a Counter Notice in this instance. To allow the event to
go ahead would undermine the licensing objectives of the prevention of crime
and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance.
