work with different organisations, the applicant’s experience, the capacity of
the premises, fire and food regulations, risk assessment of the building,
disabled facilities, ventilation for the barn, whether he would agree to the
Challenge 25 policy (rather than Challenge 21) and how the applicant planned to
liaise with residents and the community.

toilets and potentially a lowered bar area. The barn would be used mainly as a

residents and the community when events were planned to be held and provide a
