Application for a Premises Licence - Bromsgrove Members Club, Worcester Road, Bromsgrove Additional documents: Minutes: The Sub-Committee were asked to consider an application for a premises licence in respect of Bromsgrove Members Club, Worcester Road, Bromsgrove.

A representation had been received from the Council’s Environmental Health (Pollution Control) Section on the grounds of public nuisance. No representations had been received from any other Responsible Authorities.
The Principal Licensing Officer introduced the report and asked Members to note that the premises already held a Premises Licence which is currently subject to a review application, which was scheduled to be heard at the end of January.

Representations were also put forward by the Council’s Environmental Health Officer. At the Hearing, the Interested Parties who had given notice of their intention to attend the Hearing called Mr. K.
