An application has been made for a new premises licence for 31 Dorset Street, Blandford, Dorset. The application has been out to public consultation.  As objections have been received, a Licensing Sub-Committee must consider the application and representations at a public hearing. 

The Senior Licensing Officer introduced the report. The premises was a residential dwelling where the applicant intended to create alcoholic products for delivery only. Following representations made by members of the public, the Application had been amended Monday to Saturday, 9.30 am to 2.30 pm, with only two delivery times per day at 10 am and 2 pm.  

Mr Barker spoke on behalf of the applicant. He explained that he wanted to make cocktails at the premises and deliver the cocktails to the customer. He was aware of the importance of verifying the age of the purchaser and would not deliver to someone where proof of age could not be verified. The alcohol would be put in a delivery bag so children would not be able to see it. There was no intention to sell from the premises in order to reduce disruption.  

All parties were given the opportunity to have their say and sum up.
