The Chairman welcomed everyone to the Hearing and asked all parties present to provide a brief introduction.

 

The Chairman asked all parties to the proceedings if they were satisfied with the Hearing procedures to be followed. It was noted that any variation to the Hearing procedures would be at the discretion of the Chairman.

 

The Chairman noted that the premises licence holder was legally represented.

 

The Sub-Committee then considered an application for a Premises Licence, submitted by Westbourne Leisure Limited, in respect of Alvechurch Inn, Radford Road, Alvechurch, Bromsgrove, B48 7LD.

 

The Technical Officer (Licensing), Worcestershire Regulatory Services (WRS) presented his report and in doing so explained that the premises was subject to a Hearing in light of a representation being received from a Responsible Authority, namely PC A. Stanley, Licensing Officer, West Mercia Police, as detailed at Appendix 3, on page 39 of the main agenda report; and 6 valid objections received from members of the public, as detailed at Appendix 4, on pages 41 to 47 of the main agenda report.

 

The basis of the representations being on the following licencing objectives: -

 

·         The prevention of crime and disorder

·         Public safety

·         The prevention of public nuisance

 

It was noted that no representations had been received from any other Responsible Authority.

 

As detailed in the report, the Police were asking for four additional Conditions to be added to the premises licence, as detailed on page 39 of the main agenda report; should Members be minded to grant such a licence.

At this stage of the Hearing, it was highlighted by the Technical Officer (Licensing), WRS, that the premises currently held a Club Premises Certificate; and that on 8th February 2022 a copy of the licence was requested; which resulted in a Premises Licence being sent out in error. Licensing Officers contacted the agent on 19th July 2022 to advise that an error had occurred and that the premises did not hold a Premises Licence.
