application for a premises licence in respect of Martins, 65-67 Broad Street, Bromsgrove Additional documents:
Minutes: The Sub-Committee was asked to consider an application for a premises licence in respect of Martins, 65-67, Broad Street, Bromsgrove. The application was subject to a Hearing in light of representations which had been made by a local resident and a local business near to the premises. The basis of their representations related to an increase in anti social behaviour, noise nuisance and litter in a residential area.
The Licensing Assistant introduced the report and informed those present that Members of the Sub-Committee had carried out an announced Site Visit to the premises prior to the Hearing.
The case for Martins was then put forward by Mr. D. Crank (Associate, DWF LLP). He explained that Martin McColl Limited would be expanding the store in order to trade as a mini convenience store with additional staffing and that the premises would undergo a refit. He was aware that no representations had been received from any of the Responsible Authorities and that the current manager had not been made aware of any concerns from local residents. Although there was no formal store policy managers would deal with any concerns raised by local residents. Mr. Crank confirmed that the store would operate a ‘Challenge 25’ policy and not a ‘Challenge 21’ policy as stated in the application. Mr. Crank responded to questions from Members on the storage and security of alcohol stock and the removal of additional cardboard due to the increase in stock, following which representations were made by Councillor D. Pardoe and Mr. Godsall.
