Licensing Sub-Committee must consider the application and representations at a

Minutes: The Licencing
Officer introduced the application for a new premises licence for Caffeine, 44
The Esplanade, Weymouth. The premises was located within the Cumulative Impact Zone
of Weymouth. The applicants had applied for the same licence, which was
previously used at this premises, however the previous licence holder did not
make full use of the licence and operated the premises as a tearoom. Since the
application was made, further mediation had taken place between the applicant,
the police, and Environmental Health. The police, Environmental Health and
Weymouth Town Council withdrew their representations after the revised
conditions and timings were agreed. No other representations had been
withdrawn. The Licencing Officer outlined the revised timings for the licence. The Sub-Committee
and those making representations were invited to ask questions of the Licencing
Officer. The Solicitor for
the Applicant was given the opportunity to put forward their case. He drew the
Sub-Committee’s attention to the Supplement in which he had compiled all the
conditions which had been agreed and not agreed. He outlined and provided
further information on some of the conditions. He explained that the premises
would be upmarket, aimed at over 25-year-olds, and would not be very cheap.
There would be a downstairs cocktail bar and the ground floor would be a café.
He thought that the updated conditions and timings were more comprehensive and
restricted, and therefore would not add to the Cumulative Impact Zone. The Sub-Committee
and representees were invited to ask questions of the applicants. Questions
related to: ·
Admission
or readmission after midnight ·
Smoking
and its effects on residents ·
The backgrounds
of the applicants ·
The
applicants’ knowledge of the Cumulative Impact Zone ·
Consultation
with residents and, if granted, listening to residents’ concerns in the future. ·
Door
supervisors ·
Music
and alcohol at the premises. The Environmental
Protection Team Leader was invited to put forward their case. She did not have
anything further to add, however was happy to answer any questions. All parties
were invited to ask questions and she responded to the questions, confirming
that: she was happy with the conditions; secondary smoke would disperse in the
outside area; and that there was a noise management plan condition. Members of the
public, who had made representations objecting to the application, each were
given the opportunity to make their case. The objectors had concerns of loud
music affecting their families’ sleep, noise late at night, and smoking. The
Sub-Committee asked questions of the objectors. In response to the questions,
it was confirmed that flats above the premises were occasionally used as holiday
lets and that families were sometimes in these flats. All parties were
given the opportunity to sum up their case. Dorset Council’s
Senior Lawyer confirmed all relevant points had been addressed and that there
was a right of appeal from all parties. |
