Minutes: Consideration was given to an application for a premises licence in respect of the Bromsgrove Members Club, formerly known as the Bromsgrove Labour Club, 174 Worcester Road, Bromsgrove. The application was subject to a Hearing in the light of one hundred and twenty letters of objection from nearby residents concerned primarily over public nuisance through noise and anti-social behaviour, and the protection of children from harm.
Representations had also been received from a responsible authority, namely the Council’s Environmental Health Officer.
The Council’s Licensing Officer outlined the factors which needed to be considered in this matter, and was followed by Mr. Potts, who put forward the applicants case. In doing so, he advised the Sub-Committee that, the application as submitted was to be amended by the withdrawal of the requests for (i) an off-sales facility from the premises; (ii) the use of the premises (under all categories) on Sundays preceding a Bank Holiday; and (iii) the use of the premises (under all categories) on up to thirty occasions per calendar year for an additional hour over the normal permitted hours providing the police had been given fourteen days prior notice of the event. Mr. Cartwright of Westbourne Leisure Limited gave evidence to the Sub-Committee as to various aspects of the operation of the club and planned improvements to the premises.
Representations were heard from the Council’s Environmental Health Officer, who informed the Sub-Committee that, following discussions with the applicant, five draft conditions which the applicant was willing to comply with had been agreed. The effect of the conditions would be to address the issue of any public nuisance by way of sound pollution from the premises.
Representations were also heard from Councillor W. R. Newnes (local Ward Councillor) and Mr. R. Greenaway, who both spoke on behalf of the objectors.
