Application to Vary a Premises Licence - Licensing Act 2003 - DUSK, ONGAR ROAD, PILGRIMS HATCH CM15 9SS pdf icon PDF 387 KB

Additional documents:

Minutes:

 

An application had been made by Sisu Enterprises Ltd. to vary the premises licence of Dusk, Ongar Road, Pilgrims Hatch, CM15 9SS. They sought to remove two conditions attached to the current, add the supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises and amend their opening hours. Sixteenrelevant representations had been received.Members were requested to determine the application having regard to the operating schedule, the representations received, the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy and the four Licensing objectives.

 

The Licensing Officer introduced the report and Mr Carter – the Council’s Environmental Health Manager – addressed the sub-committee regarding his representation which related to noise issues. 

 

Members were advised that a Noise Impact Assessment for inclusion in their application had been submitted by the applicant after the close of business on 4 September 2020 and therefore did not comply with the five days before the hearing notice.  Given that this pertinent information was not available for inspection by members of the sub-committee nor those who had made representation, Members left the Chamber to consider how to proceed.

 

In the circumstances the Sub-committee decided that in view of the importance of the document and in fairness to all involved, the meeting should be adjourned and re-arranged within 7-14 days if possible.

 

The Chair requested that the record of when the Noise Impact Assessment was submitted be attached to the minutes.
