Minutes: The Sub-Committee was asked to consider an application for a Premises Licence, submitted by McColl Property Solutions Limited, in respect of St John’s Wine Rooms, 12 St John Street, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, B61 8QY.
The application was subject to a Hearing in light of a representation received from a member of the public. The basis of their representation was on the grounds of the Prevention of Public Nuisance. All those present were informed that the Council’s Legal Advisor had conducted a site visit, an unannounced visit to the site for which the application had been submitted.
The Technical Officer (Licensing) Worcestershire Regulatory Services (WRS), introduced the report and in doing so drew Member’s attention to paragraph 2.4 in the report which detailed the hours being sought by the applicant for licensable activities, as follows:-
Members were further informed that the representation received from a member of the public was detailed at Appendix 2 to the report. Officers were unable to mediate on this occasion. No representations had been received from any of the Responsible Authorities.
The Council’s Legal Advisor sought clarification from the Technical Officer (Licensing) WRS for the hours sought for licensable activities. She was concerned that the hours as detailed at paragraph 2.4 in the report were different to the hours submitted on the application form, as detailed on page 22 of the report.
In response the Technical Officer (Licensing) WRS explained that an amended application form was submitted by the applicant following advice sought from WRS. The report showed the hours sought for licensable activities, as detailed on the amended application form. The Technical Officer (Licensing) WRS apologised and highlighted that the initial application form had been included with the agenda papers, hence the confusion.
The Council’s Legal Advisor sought confirmation from the Technical Officer (Licensing), WRS that the hours sought for licensable activities, as detailed on the amended application form, had been advertised in accordance with legislation under the Licensing Act 2003.
With the agreement of the Chairman the meeting stood adjourned from 10:00 a.m. to 10:44 a.m. to enable officers to confirm that the hours sought for licensable activities, as detailed on the amended application form and at paragraph 2.4 in the report, were the hours that had been advertised in accordance with legislation under the Licensing Act 2003.
Following the resumption of the meeting, the Council’s Legal Advisor informed Members that the hours sought for licensable activities, as detailed on the amended application form and at paragraph 2.4 in the report, were the hours advertised in accordance with legislation under the Licensing Act 2003.
All parties present to the Hearing were provided with a copy of the amended application form as received by WRS.
